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 Olympus TG-820 iHS 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). Olympus TG-820 iHS has external dimensions of 101 x 65 x 26 mm (3.98 x 2.56 x 1.02″) and weighs 206 g (0.45 lb / 7.27 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-50 and the Olympus TG-820 iHS. Olympus TG-820 iHS is 22mm narrower and 4mm thinner than Ricoh WG-50 but it is also 3mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-50 and Olympus TG-820 iHS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-50 and Olympus TG-820 iHS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-50 is 13g lighter than the Olympus TG-820 iHS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
