Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Olympus SZ-30MR and Samsung NX210 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SZ-30MR 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 NX210 has external dimensions of 117 x 63 x 37 mm (4.61 x 2.48 x 1.46″) and weighs 222 g (0.49 lb / 7.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Olympus SZ-30MR and Samsung NX210. Samsung NX210 is 6mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Olympus SZ-30MR but it is also 11mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Olympus SZ-30MR has a built-in lens but Samsung NX210 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX210, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX210 is 4g lighter than the Olympus SZ-30MR but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 NX210, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Olympus SZ-30MR nor Samsung NX210 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
