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 Fujifilm HS35EXR and Samsung NX30 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm HS35EXR has external dimensions of 131 x 97 x 126 mm (5.16 x 3.82 x 4.96″) and weighs 687 g (1.51 lb / 24.23 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX30 has external dimensions of 127 x 96 x 58 mm (5 x 3.78 x 2.28″) and weighs 375 g (0.83 lb / 13.23 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm HS35EXR and the Samsung NX30. Samsung NX30 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 1mm shorter and 68mm thinner than Fujifilm HS35EXR. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm HS35EXR has a built-in lens but Samsung NX30 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX30, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm HS35EXR and Samsung NX30.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm HS35EXR and Samsung NX30.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX30 is significantly lighter (312g ) than the Fujifilm HS35EXR 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 NX30, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR nor Samsung NX30 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm HS35EXR and Samsung NX30's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Fujifilm HS35EXR features a
