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 WB250F and Olympus E-PL6 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung WB250F has external dimensions of 106 x 62 x 22 mm (4.17 x 2.44 x 0.87″) and weighs 226 g (0.50 lb / 7.97 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-PL6 has external dimensions of 111 x 64 x 38 mm (4.37 x 2.52 x 1.5″) and weighs 325 g (0.72 lb / 11.46 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung WB250F and the Olympus E-PL6. Samsung WB250F is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 16mm thinner than Olympus E-PL6. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Samsung WB250F has a built-in lens but Olympus E-PL6 doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-PL6, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung WB250F and Olympus E-PL6.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung WB250F and Olympus E-PL6.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung WB250F is significantly lighter (99g ) than the Olympus E-PL6 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-PL6, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung WB250F nor Olympus PEN E-PL6 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 WB250F and Olympus E-PL6's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus E-PL6 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Samsung WB250F has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to E-PL6.
