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 Olympus FE-3010 and Canon SX280 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus FE-3010 has external dimensions of 93 x 56 x 18 mm (3.66 x 2.2 x 0.71″) and weighs 108 g (0.24 lb / 3.81 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX280 HS has external dimensions of 106 x 63 x 33 mm (4.17 x 2.48 x 1.3″) and weighs 233 g (0.51 lb / 8.22 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-3010 is significantly lighter (125g ) than the Canon SX280 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the FE-3010 has a big advantage over the SX280 HS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SX280 HS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-3010's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
