Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX100 is significantly lighter (68g ) than the Fujifilm X-E1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Samsung NX100 and Fujifilm X-E1 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX100 and Fujifilm X-E1 Cameras
Samsung NX100 and Fujifilm X-E1 have almost the same sensor size so none of them has any significant advantage over other in providing control over depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Fujifilm X-E1 has an advantage over Samsung NX100 There are 56 lenses for Fujifilm X-E1's Fujifilm X mount, on the other hand there are only 32 lenses for Samsung NX100's Samsung NX lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Samsung NX100 has a big advantage in this regard because it has a sensor based image stabilization (IS) which means that all the lenses mounted to this body will be stabilized. On the other hand, Fujifilm X-E1 doesn't have this feature so you have to buy a lens with optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 13 lenses for Fujifilm X mount with Optical Image Stabilization features.
