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 PL200 and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung PL200 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 21 mm (3.94 x 2.36 x 0.83″) and weighs 170 g (0.37 lb / 6.00 oz) (including batteries). Samsung EX2F has external dimensions of 112 x 62 x 29 mm (4.41 x 2.44 x 1.14″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung PL200 and the Samsung EX2F. Samsung PL200 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Samsung EX2F.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung PL200 and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung PL200 is significantly lighter (124g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung PL200 nor Samsung EX2F provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung PL200 and Samsung EX2F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung EX2F sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Samsung PL200's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
