Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Ricoh WG-6 and Samsung NX mini side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-6 has external dimensions of 118 x 66 x 33 mm (4.65 x 2.6 x 1.3″) and weighs 246 g (0.54 lb / 8.68 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX mini has external dimensions of 110 x 62 x 23 mm (4.33 x 2.44 x 0.91″) and weighs 196 g (0.43 lb / 6.91 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Samsung NX mini. Samsung NX mini is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 10mm thinner than Ricoh WG-6. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh WG-6 has a built-in lens but Samsung NX mini doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX mini, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX mini is significantly lighter (50g ) than the Ricoh WG-6 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 NX mini, the total kit will weigh much higher.
