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 Ricoh WG-50 and Canon S100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-50 has external dimensions of 123 x 62 x 30 mm (4.84 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 193 g (0.43 lb / 6.81 oz) (including batteries). Canon S100 has external dimensions of 99 x 60 x 28 mm (3.9 x 2.36 x 1.1″) and weighs 198 g (0.44 lb / 6.98 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-50 and the Canon S100. Canon S100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 2mm thinner than Ricoh WG-50.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-50 and Canon S100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-50 and Canon S100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-50 is 5g lighter than the Canon S100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-50, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon S100's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-50's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
