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 TL225 and Nikon L830 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung TL225 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 19 mm (3.94 x 2.36 x 0.75″) and weighs 187 g (0.41 lb / 6.60 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung TL225 and Nikon L830.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung TL225 is significantly lighter (321g ) than the Nikon L830 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Unfortunately neither the Samsung TL225 (ST550) nor Nikon Coolpix L830 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
