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 VS20 and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax VS20 has external dimensions of 111 x 61 x 38 mm (4.37 x 2.4 x 1.5″) and weighs 235 g (0.52 lb / 8.29 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 VS20 and the Samsung EX2F. Pentax VS20 is 1mm narrower and 1mm shorter than Samsung EX2F but it is also 9mm thicker.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax VS20 and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax VS20 is significantly lighter (59g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Pentax Optio VS20 nor Samsung EX2F 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 VS20 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 VS20's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
