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 Samsung DV300F 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). Samsung DV300F has external dimensions of 95 x 57 x 18 mm (3.74 x 2.24 x 0.71″) and weighs 133 g (0.29 lb / 4.69 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung MV800 and the Samsung DV300F. Samsung MV800 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 1mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Samsung DV300F.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung MV800 is 12g lighter than the Samsung DV300F but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung MV800 nor Samsung DV300F 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 Samsung DV300F'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 Samsung DV300F has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to MV800.
