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 Ricoh WG-30W 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). Ricoh WG-30W has external dimensions of 123 x 62 x 30 mm (4.84 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 194 g (0.43 lb / 6.84 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus 1s and the Ricoh WG-30W. Ricoh WG-30W is 25mm shorter and 27mm thinner than Olympus 1s but it is also 7mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus 1s and Ricoh WG-30W.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 1s and Ricoh WG-30W.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-30W is significantly lighter (208g ) than the Olympus 1s which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-30W, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the 1s.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus 1s's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-30W's 2.7 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Olympus 1s LCD screen also 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, Ricoh WG-30W has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1s.
