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 Sport and Olympus E-PL2 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak Sport has external dimensions of 147 x 58 x 23 mm (5.79 x 2.28 x 0.91″) and weighs 175 g (0.39 lb / 6.17 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-PL2 has external dimensions of 114 x 72 x 42 mm (4.49 x 2.83 x 1.65″) and weighs 362 g (0.80 lb / 12.77 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak Sport and the Olympus E-PL2. Kodak Sport is 14mm shorter and 19mm thinner than Olympus E-PL2 but it is also 33mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Kodak Sport has a built-in lens but Olympus E-PL2 doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-PL2, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Kodak Sport and Olympus E-PL2.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak Sport and Olympus E-PL2.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak Sport is significantly lighter (187g ) than the Olympus E-PL2 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-PL2, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the Sport, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the E-PL2.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-PL2's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak Sport's 2.4" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
