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 Leica CL and Samsung NX30 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica CL has external dimensions of 131 x 78 x 45 mm (5.16 x 3.07 x 1.77″) and weighs 403 g (0.89 lb / 14.22 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 Leica CL and the Samsung NX30. Leica CL is 18mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Samsung NX30 but it is also 4mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica CL and Samsung NX30.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica CL 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 28g lighter than the Leica CL but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 Leica CL and Samsung NX30 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
Unfortunately neither the Leica CL 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. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Mirrorless Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica CL and Samsung NX30's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung NX30 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Leica CL's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to NX30.
