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 PL120 and Kodak Z980 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung PL120 has external dimensions of 94 x 54 x 19 mm (3.7 x 2.13 x 0.75″) and weighs (including batteries). Kodak Z980 has external dimensions of 124 x 91 x 105 mm (4.88 x 3.58 x 4.13″) and weighs 445 g (0.98 lb / 15.70 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung PL120 and the Kodak Z980. Samsung PL120 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 30mm narrower, 37mm shorter and 86mm thinner than Kodak Z980.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung PL120 and Kodak Z980.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung PL120 and Kodak Z980.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung PL120 is 445g lighter than the Kodak Z980 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung PL120 nor Kodak EasyShare Z980 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
Kodak Z980's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung PL120's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
