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 RZ18 and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax RZ18 has external dimensions of 97 x 61 x 33 mm (3.82 x 2.4 x 1.3″) and weighs 178 g (0.39 lb / 6.28 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 Pentax RZ18 and the Samsung EX2F. Pentax RZ18 is 15mm narrower and 1mm shorter than Samsung EX2F but it is also 4mm thicker.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax RZ18 and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax RZ18 is significantly lighter (116g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the RZ18 has a big advantage over the EX2F which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Pentax RZ18 and Samsung EX2F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, 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. Pentax RZ18's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
