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 G1 X III and Samsung NX20 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX20 has external dimensions of 122 x 90 x 40 mm (4.8 x 3.54 x 1.57″) and weighs 341 g (0.75 lb / 12.03 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and the Samsung NX20. Canon G1 X III is 7mm narrower and 12mm shorter than Samsung NX20 but it is also 11mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G1 X III has a built-in lens but Samsung NX20 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX20, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX20 is significantly lighter (58g ) than the Canon G1 X III which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on NX20, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G1 X III has a big advantage over the NX20 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III and Samsung NX20's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
