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 Sony A7 II and Samsung NX mini side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A7 II has external dimensions of 127 x 96 x 60 mm (5 x 3.78 x 2.36″) and weighs 599 g (1.32 lb / 21.13 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX mini has external dimensions of 110 x 62 x 23 mm (4.33 x 2.44 x 0.91″) and weighs 196 g (0.43 lb / 6.91 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony A7 II and the Samsung NX mini. Samsung NX mini is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 17mm narrower, 34mm shorter and 37mm thinner than Sony A7 II.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A7 II and Samsung NX mini.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A7 II and Samsung NX mini.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX mini is significantly lighter (403g ) than the Sony A7 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Sony A7 II has a Full frame sensor and Samsung NX mini has a smaller 1' sensor, Samsung NX mini's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Sony A7 II lenses.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the A7 II has a big advantage over the NX mini which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A7 II and Samsung NX mini's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.
