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 SL30 and Samsung TL220 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung SL30 has external dimensions of 94 x 61 x 23 mm (3.7 x 2.4 x 0.91″) and weighs 140 g (0.31 lb / 4.94 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung SL30 is significantly lighter (29g ) than the Samsung TL220 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung SL30 (ES15) nor Samsung TL220 (ST500) 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 TL220's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung SL30's 2.5" screen.
