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 Casio TRYX and Olympus TG-870 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Casio TRYX has external dimensions of 122 x 58 x 15 mm (4.8 x 2.28 x 0.59″) and weighs (including batteries). Olympus TG-870 has external dimensions of 113 x 64 x 28 mm (4.45 x 2.52 x 1.1″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Casio TRYX and the Olympus TG-870. Casio TRYX is 6mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Olympus TG-870 but it is also 9mm wider.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio TRYX is 221g lighter than the Olympus TG-870 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-870, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the TRYX.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Casio TRYX and Olympus TG-870's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Olympus TG-870 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Casio TRYX sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
