Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-5 GPS, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the EX-100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Casio EX-100's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-5 GPS's 3 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Casio EX-100 LCD screen also has a
