Samsung does not follow CIPA when reporting specifications!

The specifications for EX2F are deceptive. The weight of 294g is WITHOUT battery (and SD card I presume):

The depth of 29mm is just a lie (probably is measured in the thinnest point and not at thickest as required and reported by other manufacturers).
I would not be surprised if they report width without the protruding lugs etc.

They think if they are not a Japanese company they can avoid following CIPA standards? But it is just a fraud. Buyer beware!

Do they follow the same deceptive practices when reporting specs for other compacts and NX cameras? Can we trust a single specification if they are not following CIPA rules?
