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 HZ30W and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Samsung EX2F has external dimensions of 112 x 62 x 29 mm (4.41 x 2.44 x 1.14″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung HZ30W and the Samsung EX2F. Samsung HZ30W is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 1mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Samsung EX2F.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung HZ30W and Samsung EX2F.
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 (49g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung HZ30W (WB600) nor Samsung EX2F 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 and Samsung EX2F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung EX2F sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Samsung HZ30W's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
