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-5010 and Olympus XZ-10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus FE-5010 has external dimensions of 96 x 57 x 21 mm (3.78 x 2.24 x 0.83″) and weighs 130 g (0.29 lb / 4.59 oz) (including batteries). Olympus XZ-10 has external dimensions of 102 x 61 x 34 mm (4.03 x 2.41 x 1.35″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus FE-5010 and the Olympus XZ-10. Olympus FE-5010 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Olympus XZ-10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-5010 is significantly lighter (91g ) than the Olympus XZ-10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the FE-5010 has a big advantage over the XZ-10 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus XZ-10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-5010's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
