Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G3 X, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the WB1100F.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G3 X's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung WB1100F's 3" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Canon G3 X LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Samsung WB1100F has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G3 X.
