Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SZ-10 is 11g lighter than the Olympus SZ-12 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus SZ-10 nor Olympus SZ-12 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SZ-10 and Olympus SZ-12's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
