Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon 7D MII and Samsung NX3000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

Samsung NX3000 has external dimensions of 117 x 66 x 39 mm (4.61 x 2.6 x 1.54″) and weighs 230 g (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX3000 is significantly lighter (680g ) than the Canon 7D MII which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon 7D MII and Samsung NX3000 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 7D MII has a big advantage over the NX3000 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 7D MII and Samsung NX3000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung NX3000 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Canon 7D MII has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to NX3000.
