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 Samsung CL80 and Samsung ST65 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung CL80 has external dimensions of 104 x 58 x 20 mm (4.09 x 2.28 x 0.79″) and weighs 160 g (0.35 lb / 5.64 oz) (including batteries). Samsung ST65 has external dimensions of 92 x 53 x 17 mm (3.62 x 2.09 x 0.67″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung CL80 and the Samsung ST65. Samsung ST65 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Samsung CL80.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung ST65 is 160g lighter than the Samsung CL80 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung CL80 (ST5500) nor Samsung ST65 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 CL80's 3.70" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung ST65's 3 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
