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 NX1000 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 NX1000 has external dimensions of 114 x 63 x 37 mm (4.49 x 2.48 x 1.46″) and weighs 222 g (0.49 lb / 7.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Samsung NX1000. Samsung NX1000 is 4mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Ricoh WG-6 but it is also 4mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh WG-6 has a built-in lens but Samsung NX1000 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX1000, 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 NX1000 is 24g lighter than the Ricoh WG-6 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 NX1000, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather sealed body of WG-6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to NX1000.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Samsung NX1000's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".
