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 TG-3 and Canon N100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-3 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 31 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.22″) and weighs 247 g (0.54 lb / 8.71 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-3 and Canon N100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-3 is significantly lighter (42g ) than the Canon N100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-3, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the N100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-3 and Canon N100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon N100 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 Olympus TG-3 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N100.
