Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-4000 is 1g lighter than the Olympus FE-5020 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the FE-5020, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FE-4000.
