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 D7000 and Samsung DV300F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon D7000 has external dimensions of 132 x 105 x 77 mm (5.2 x 4.13 x 3.03″) and weighs 780 g (1.72 lb / 27.51 oz) (including batteries). Samsung DV300F has external dimensions of 95 x 57 x 18 mm (3.74 x 2.24 x 0.71″) and weighs 133 g (0.29 lb / 4.69 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon D7000 and the Samsung DV300F. Samsung DV300F is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 37mm narrower, 48mm shorter and 59mm thinner than Nikon D7000. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Samsung DV300F has a built-in lens but Nikon D7000 doesn't. Once you put a lens on D7000, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon D7000 and Samsung DV300F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung DV300F is significantly lighter (647g ) than the Nikon D7000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on D7000, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the D7000 has a big advantage over the DV300F which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon D7000 and Samsung DV300F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
