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 Pentax MX-1 and Kodak Z915 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax MX-1 has external dimensions of 122 x 61 x 51 mm (4.8 x 2.4 x 2.01″) and weighs 391 g (0.86 lb / 13.79 oz) (including batteries). Kodak Z915 has external dimensions of 90 x 64 x 39 mm (3.54 x 2.52 x 1.54″) and weighs 194 g (0.43 lb / 6.84 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax MX-1 and the Kodak Z915. Kodak Z915 is 32mm narrower and 12mm thinner than Pentax MX-1 but it is also 3mm taller.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak Z915 is significantly lighter (197g ) than the Pentax MX-1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Pentax MX-1 nor Kodak EasyShare Z915 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
Pentax MX-1's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak Z915's 2.5 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Pentax MX-1 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Kodak Z915 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to MX-1.
