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 X70 and Samsung NX30 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X70 has external dimensions of 113 x 64 x 44 mm (4.45 x 2.52 x 1.73″) and weighs 340 g (0.75 lb / 11.99 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 X70 and the Samsung NX30. Fujifilm X70 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 32mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Samsung NX30. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm X70 has a built-in lens but Samsung NX30 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX30, 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.
Fujifilm X70 is 35g lighter than the Samsung NX30 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 X70 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 X70 and Samsung NX30's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Fujifilm X70 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Samsung NX30 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
