Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung DV150F is significantly lighter (37g ) than the Samsung PL170 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung PL170 nor Samsung DV150F 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 PL170's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung DV150F's 2.7 screen.
