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-600 UZ and Olympus XZ-10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SP-600 UZ has external dimensions of 110 x 90 x 91 mm (4.33 x 3.54 x 3.58″) and weighs 455 g (1.00 lb / 16.05 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus SP-600 UZ and Olympus XZ-10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus XZ-10 is significantly lighter (234g ) than the Olympus SP-600 UZ which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus SP-600 UZ nor Olympus Stylus XZ-10 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Olympus XZ-10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-600 UZ's 2.7" screen.
