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 Kodak M381 and Olympus TG-860 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak M381 has external dimensions of 101 x 60 x 20 mm (3.98 x 2.36 x 0.79″) and weighs 153 g (0.34 lb / 5.40 oz) (including batteries). Olympus TG-860 has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 28 mm (5.12 x 2.52 x 1.1″) and weighs 224 g (0.49 lb / 7.90 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak M381 and the Olympus TG-860. Kodak M381 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Olympus TG-860.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M381 is significantly lighter (71g ) than the Olympus TG-860 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-860, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M381.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Kodak M381 and Olympus TG-860's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus TG-860 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Kodak M381 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-860.
