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-5 and Olympus FE-45 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-5 has external dimensions of 113 x 66 x 32 mm (4.45 x 2.6 x 1.26″) and weighs 250 g (0.55 lb / 8.82 oz) (including batteries). Olympus FE-45 has external dimensions of 94 x 62 x 23 mm (3.7 x 2.44 x 0.91″) and weighs 142 g (0.31 lb / 5.01 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-5 and the Olympus FE-45. Olympus FE-45 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 19mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 9mm thinner than Olympus TG-5.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus TG-5 and Olympus FE-45.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-45 is significantly lighter (108g ) than the Olympus TG-5 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-5, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FE-45.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-5's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-45's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
