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-610UZ and Olympus SP-600 UZ side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SP-610UZ and the Olympus SP-600 UZ. Olympus SP-610UZ is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 17mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Olympus SP-600 UZ.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus SP-610UZ and Olympus SP-600 UZ.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus SP-610UZ and Olympus SP-600 UZ.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SP-610UZ is 50g lighter than the Olympus SP-600 UZ but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus SP-610UZ nor Olympus SP-600 UZ provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SP-610UZ's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-600 UZ's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
