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 X-5 and Samsung NX200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax X-5 has external dimensions of 119 x 86 x 107 mm (4.69 x 3.39 x 4.21″) and weighs 595 g (1.31 lb / 20.99 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX200 has external dimensions of 117 x 63 x 36 mm (4.61 x 2.48 x 1.42″) and weighs 223 g (0.49 lb / 7.87 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax X-5 and the Samsung NX200. Samsung NX200 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 2mm narrower, 23mm shorter and 71mm thinner than Pentax X-5. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Pentax X-5 has a built-in lens but Samsung NX200 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX200, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax X-5 and Samsung NX200.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX200 is significantly lighter (372g ) than the Pentax X-5 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on NX200, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Pentax X-5 nor Samsung NX200 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 X-5 and Samsung NX200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Pentax X-5 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Samsung NX200 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-5.
