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 Panasonic G100 and Samsung NX mini side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic G100 has external dimensions of 116 x 83 x 54 mm (4.57 x 3.27 x 2.13″) and weighs 352 g (0.78 lb / 12.42 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX mini has external dimensions of 110 x 62 x 23 mm (4.33 x 2.44 x 0.91″) and weighs 196 g (0.43 lb / 6.91 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and the Samsung NX mini. Samsung NX mini is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 21mm shorter and 31mm thinner than Panasonic G100.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and Samsung NX mini.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic G100 and Samsung NX mini.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX mini is significantly lighter (156g ) than the Panasonic G100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 nor Samsung NX mini provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic G100 and Samsung NX mini's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Samsung NX mini features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic G100 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
