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 Nikon 1 V2 and Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon 1 V2 has external dimensions of 109 x 82 x 46 mm (4.29 x 3.23 x 1.81″) and weighs 278 g (0.61 lb / 9.81 oz) (including batteries). Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm has external dimensions of 114 x 58 x 50 mm (4.49 x 2.28 x 1.97″) and weighs 367 g (0.81 lb / 12.95 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon 1 V2 and the Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm. Nikon 1 V2 is 5mm narrower and 4mm thinner than Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm but it is also 24mm taller. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm has a built-in lens but Nikon 1 V2 doesn't. Once you put a lens on 1 V2, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon 1 V2 and Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon 1 V2 is significantly lighter (89g ) than the Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm 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 1 V2, the total kit will weigh much higher.
