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 Olympus 1 and Ricoh CX3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 1 has external dimensions of 116 x 87 x 57 mm (4.57 x 3.43 x 2.24″) and weighs 402 g (0.89 lb / 14.18 oz) (including batteries). Ricoh CX3 has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 29 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.14″) and weighs 206 g (0.45 lb / 7.27 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus 1 and the Ricoh CX3. Ricoh CX3 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 29mm shorter and 28mm thinner than Olympus 1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus 1 and Ricoh CX3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 1 and Ricoh CX3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh CX3 is significantly lighter (196g ) than the Olympus 1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus 1 nor Ricoh CX3 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
Olympus 1 and Ricoh CX3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus 1 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Ricoh CX3 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1.
