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 Nikon AW130 and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon AW130 has external dimensions of 110 x 66 x 27 mm (4.33 x 2.6 x 1.06″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries). Samsung EX2F has external dimensions of 112 x 62 x 29 mm (4.41 x 2.44 x 1.14″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon AW130 and the Samsung EX2F. Nikon AW130 is 2mm narrower and 2mm thinner than Samsung EX2F but it is also 4mm taller.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon AW130 and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon AW130 is significantly lighter (73g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the AW130 has a big advantage over the EX2F which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon AW130 and Samsung EX2F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung EX2F 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. Nikon AW130's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
