Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Pentax Efina nor Samsung TL225 (ST550) 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
Samsung TL225's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax Efina's 2.5" screen.
