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 X70 and Samsung HZ30W side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax X70 has external dimensions of 110 x 83 x 90 mm (4.33 x 3.27 x 3.54″) and weighs 410 g (0.90 lb / 14.46 oz) (including batteries). Samsung HZ30W has external dimensions of 107 x 61 x 28 mm (4.21 x 2.4 x 1.1″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax X70 and the Samsung HZ30W. Samsung HZ30W is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 22mm shorter and 62mm thinner than Pentax X70.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Pentax X70 and Samsung HZ30W.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax X70 and Samsung HZ30W.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung HZ30W is significantly lighter (165g ) than the Pentax X70 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Pentax X70 nor Samsung HZ30W (WB600) 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
Samsung HZ30W's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax X70's 2.7" screen.
