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 MV800 and Nikon S9300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung MV800 has external dimensions of 92 x 56 x 10 mm (3.62 x 2.21 x 0.41″) and weighs 121 g (0.27 lb / 4.27 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S9300 has external dimensions of 109 x 62 x 31 mm (4.29 x 2.44 x 1.22″) and weighs 215 g (0.47 lb / 7.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung MV800 and the Nikon S9300. Samsung MV800 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 17mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Nikon S9300.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung MV800 and Nikon S9300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung MV800 is significantly lighter (94g ) than the Nikon S9300 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung MV800 nor Nikon Coolpix S9300 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 and Nikon S9300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung MV800 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Nikon S9300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to MV800.
