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 M Edition 60 and Samsung NX3000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica M Edition 60 has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 42 mm (5.47 x 3.15 x 1.65″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX3000 has external dimensions of 117 x 66 x 39 mm (4.61 x 2.6 x 1.54″) and weighs 230 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica M Edition 60 and the Samsung NX3000. Samsung NX3000 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 22mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Leica M Edition 60.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica M Edition 60 and Samsung NX3000.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica M Edition 60 and Samsung NX3000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX3000 is significantly lighter (450g ) than the Leica M Edition 60 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 Leica M Edition 60 has a Full frame sensor and Samsung NX3000 has a smaller APS-C sensor, Samsung NX3000's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Leica M Edition 60 lenses.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the M Edition 60 has a big advantage over the NX3000 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica M Edition 60 and Samsung NX3000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung NX3000 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Leica M Edition 60 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to NX3000.
