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 A6500 and Samsung NX3000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A6500 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 53 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 2.09″) and weighs 453 g (1.00 lb / 15.98 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX3000 has external dimensions of 117 x 66 x 39 mm (4.61 x 2.6 x 1.54″) and weighs 230 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony A6500 and the Samsung NX3000. Samsung NX3000 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 1mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Sony A6500.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A6500 and Samsung NX3000.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A6500 and Samsung NX3000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX3000 is significantly lighter (223g ) than the Sony A6500 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 both Sony A6500 and Samsung NX3000 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the A6500 has a big advantage over the NX3000 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.

Sony A6500 and Samsung NX3000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
