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 (122g ) than the Samsung Galaxy Camera 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 Galaxy Camera which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung Galaxy Camera's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax RZ18's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
