Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak FZ55 is 15g lighter than the Samsung MV800 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung MV800 nor Kodak Pixpro FZ55 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 MV800's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak FZ55's 2.7 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Samsung MV800 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Kodak FZ55 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to MV800.
