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 Olympus 5010 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). Olympus 5010 has external dimensions of 95 x 56 x 20 mm (3.74 x 2.2 x 0.79″) and weighs 126 g (0.28 lb / 4.44 oz) (including batteries).

Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus FE-3010 and Olympus 5010.
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 (18g ) than the Olympus 5010 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 5010 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus FE-3010 and Olympus 5010's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
