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 S30 and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S30 has external dimensions of 102 x 65 x 40 mm (4.02 x 2.56 x 1.57″) and weighs 214 g (0.47 lb / 7.55 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 S30 and the Samsung EX2F. Samsung EX2F is 3mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Nikon S30 but it is also 10mm wider.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S30 and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S30 is significantly lighter (80g ) 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 S30 has a big advantage over the EX2F which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung EX2F's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S30's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, 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. On the other hand, Nikon S30 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
