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 ST700 and Canon A2300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung ST700 has external dimensions of 99 x 55 x 20 mm (3.9 x 2.17 x 0.79″) and weighs 122 g (including batteries). Canon A2300 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 20 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.79″) and weighs 125 g (0.28 lb / 4.41 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung ST700 is 3g lighter than the Canon A2300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung ST700 nor Canon PowerShot A2300 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 ST700's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon A2300's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
