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 NX30 and FujiFilm HS20 EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung NX30 has external dimensions of 127 x 96 x 58 mm (5 x 3.78 x 2.28″) and weighs 375 g (0.83 lb / 13.23 oz) (including batteries). FujiFilm HS20 EXR has external dimensions of 131 x 91 x 126 mm (5.16 x 3.58 x 4.96″) and weighs 730 g (1.61 lb / 25.75 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung NX30 and the FujiFilm HS20 EXR. Samsung NX30 is 4mm narrower and 68mm thinner than FujiFilm HS20 EXR but it is also 5mm taller. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since FujiFilm HS20 EXR has a built-in lens but Samsung NX30 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX30, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung NX30 and FujiFilm HS20 EXR.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung NX30 and FujiFilm HS20 EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX30 is significantly lighter (355g ) than the FujiFilm HS20 EXR 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 NX30, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung NX30 nor FujiFilm FinePix HS20 EXR (FinePix HS22 EXR) 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 NX30 and FujiFilm HS20 EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
FujiFilm HS20 EXR features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Samsung NX30 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
