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 M530 and Olympus XZ-10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak M530 has external dimensions of 94 x 57 x 23 mm (3.7 x 2.24 x 0.91″) and weighs 150 g (0.33 lb / 5.29 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak M530 and Olympus XZ-10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M530 is significantly lighter (71g ) than the Olympus XZ-10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak EasyShare M530 nor Olympus Stylus XZ-10 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus XZ-10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak M530's 2.7" screen.
