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 Olympus SZ-11 and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SZ-11 has external dimensions of 106 x 69 x 40 mm (4.17 x 2.72 x 1.57″) and weighs 226 g (0.50 lb / 7.97 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 Olympus SZ-11 and the Samsung EX2F. Samsung EX2F is 7mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Olympus SZ-11 but it is also 6mm wider.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus SZ-11 and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SZ-11 is significantly lighter (68g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus SZ-11 nor Samsung EX2F 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 Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SZ-11 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. Olympus SZ-11's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
