Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung WB30F is significantly lighter (29g ) than the Pentax WG-1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the WB30F.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung WB30F's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax WG-1's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
