Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Samsung NX100 and Samsung WB2200F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung NX100 has external dimensions of 120 x 71 x 35 mm (4.72 x 2.8 x 1.38″) and weighs 282 g (0.62 lb / 9.95 oz) (including batteries). Samsung WB2200F has external dimensions of 119 x 122 x 99 mm (4.69 x 4.8 x 3.9″) and weighs 708 g (1.56 lb / 24.97 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Samsung NX100 and Samsung WB2200F. Samsung NX100 is 51mm shorter and 64mm thinner than Samsung WB2200F but it is also 1mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Samsung WB2200F has a built-in lens but Samsung NX100 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX100, its thickness will increase significantly.

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 (426g ) than the Samsung WB2200F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on NX100, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Samsung NX100 nor Samsung WB2200F provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
