Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Unfortunately neither the Olympus SP-800 UZ nor Kodak EasyShare M550 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Olympus SP-800 UZ's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak M550's 2.7 screen.
