Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZR3 is significantly lighter (135g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR3 (Lumix DMC-ZX3) nor Samsung EX2F provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung EX2F's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic ZR3'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, Panasonic ZR3 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
