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 8010 and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 8010 has external dimensions of 98 x 64 x 24 mm (3.86 x 2.52 x 0.94″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 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 8010 and the Samsung EX2F. Olympus 8010 is 14mm narrower and 5mm thinner than Samsung EX2F but it is also 2mm taller.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 8010 and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 8010 is significantly lighter (49g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the 8010, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the EX2F.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung EX2F's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus 8010'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, Olympus 8010 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
