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-5020 and Samsung WB50F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus FE-5020 has external dimensions of 93 x 56 x 25 mm (3.66 x 2.2 x 0.98″) and weighs 137 g (0.30 lb / 4.83 oz) (including batteries). Samsung WB50F has external dimensions of 101 x 68 x 27 mm (3.98 x 2.68 x 1.06″) and weighs 207 g (0.46 lb / 7.30 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus FE-5020 and the Samsung WB50F. Olympus FE-5020 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 2mm thinner than Samsung WB50F.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus FE-5020 and Samsung WB50F.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus FE-5020 and Samsung WB50F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-5020 is significantly lighter (70g ) than the Samsung WB50F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the FE-5020 has a big advantage over the WB50F which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung WB50F's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-5020's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
