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 Galaxy NX and Nikon P510 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung Galaxy NX has external dimensions of 137 x 101 x 26 mm (5.39 x 3.98 x 1.02″) and weighs 495 g (1.09 lb / 17.46 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P510 has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 102 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 4.02″) and weighs 555 g (1.22 lb / 19.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung Galaxy NX and the Nikon P510. Nikon P510 is 17mm narrower and 18mm shorter than Samsung Galaxy NX but it is also 76mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Nikon P510 has a built-in lens but Samsung Galaxy NX doesn't. Once you put a lens on Galaxy NX, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung Galaxy NX and Nikon P510.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung Galaxy NX and Nikon P510.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung Galaxy NX is 60g lighter than the Nikon P510 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 Galaxy NX, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung Galaxy NX nor Nikon Coolpix P510 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
