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 1s and Nikon S800c side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 1s 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).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 1s and Nikon S800c.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S800c is significantly lighter (218g ) than the Olympus 1s which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus 1s nor Nikon Coolpix S800c 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
Nikon S800c's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus 1s's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Olympus 1s LCD screen has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Nikon S800c has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1s.
