Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung PL120 is significantly lighter (35g ) than the Samsung ST700 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung ST700 nor Samsung PL120 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

Samsung ST700's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung PL120's 2.7 screen.
