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 SP-590 UZ and Olympus SP-610UZ side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SP-590 UZ has external dimensions of 116 x 84 x 81 mm (4.57 x 3.31 x 3.19″) and weighs 413 g (0.91 lb / 14.57 oz) (including batteries). Olympus SP-610UZ has external dimensions of 107 x 73 x 73 mm (4.21 x 2.87 x 2.87″) and weighs 405 g (0.89 lb / 14.29 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SP-590 UZ and the Olympus SP-610UZ. Olympus SP-610UZ is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 11mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Olympus SP-590 UZ.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus SP-590 UZ and Olympus SP-610UZ.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SP-610UZ is 8g lighter than the Olympus SP-590 UZ but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the SP-590 UZ has a big advantage over the SP-610UZ which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SP-610UZ's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-590 UZ's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
