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 WB35F and Nikon 1 J3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung WB35F has external dimensions of 101 x 61 x 28 mm (3.98 x 2.4 x 1.1″) and weighs 194 g (0.43 lb / 6.84 oz) (including batteries). Nikon 1 J3 has external dimensions of 101 x 61 x 29 mm (3.98 x 2.4 x 1.14″) and weighs 201 g (0.44 lb / 7.09 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung WB35F and the Nikon 1 J3. Samsung WB35F has the same height and width with Nikon 1 J3. On the other hand, with a thickness of 28mm, it is 1mm thinner. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Samsung WB35F has a built-in lens but Nikon 1 J3 doesn't. Once you put a lens on 1 J3, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung WB35F and Nikon 1 J3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung WB35F is 7g lighter than the Nikon 1 J3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 1 J3, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung WB35F nor Nikon 1 J3 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
Nikon 1 J3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung WB35F's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
