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 ST100 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 ST100 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 20 mm (3.94 x 2.36 x 0.79″) and weighs 155 g (0.34 lb / 5.47 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung PL200 and the Samsung ST100. Samsung PL200 has the same height and width with Samsung ST100. On the other hand, with a thickness of 21mm, it is 1mm thicker.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung ST100 is 15g lighter than the Samsung PL200 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung PL200 nor Samsung ST100 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 ST100's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung PL200's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
