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 Kodak FZ55 and Samsung MV800 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak FZ55 has external dimensions of 92 x 57 x 23 mm and weighs 106 g (including batteries). Samsung MV800 has external dimensions of 92 x 56 x 10 mm (3.62 x 2.21 x 0.41″) and weighs 121 g (0.27 lb / 4.27 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak FZ55 is 15g lighter than the Samsung MV800 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak Pixpro FZ55 nor Samsung MV800 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
Samsung MV800's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak FZ55's 2.7 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Samsung MV800 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Kodak FZ55 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to MV800.
