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 NX1000 and Samsung NX300M side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung NX1000 has external dimensions of 114 x 63 x 37 mm (4.49 x 2.48 x 1.46″) and weighs 222 g (0.49 lb / 7.83 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX300M has external dimensions of 122 x 64 x 41 mm (4.8 x 2.52 x 1.61″) and weighs 331 g (0.73 lb / 11.68 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX1000 is significantly lighter (109g ) than the Samsung NX300M 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 also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Samsung NX1000 and Samsung NX300M have the same Samsung NX lens mount and APS-C sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung NX1000 nor Samsung NX300M 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 NX300M's 3.30" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung NX1000's 3 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Samsung NX300M 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, Samsung NX1000 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to NX300M.
