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 Nikon S9900 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). Nikon S9900 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 40 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.57″) and weighs 289 g (0.64 lb / 10.19 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-50 and the Nikon S9900. Ricoh WG-50 is 4mm shorter and 10mm thinner than Nikon S9900 but it is also 11mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-50 and Nikon S9900.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-50 and Nikon S9900.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-50 is significantly lighter (96g ) than the Nikon S9900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 S9900.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S9900's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-50's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Nikon S9900 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Ricoh WG-50 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S9900.
