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 1 and Olympus SP-100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 1 has external dimensions of 116 x 87 x 57 mm (4.57 x 3.43 x 2.24″) and weighs 402 g (0.89 lb / 14.18 oz) (including batteries). Olympus SP-100 has external dimensions of 122 x 91 x 133 mm (4.8 x 3.6 x 5.25″) and weighs 594 g (1.31 lb / 20.95 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus 1 and the Olympus SP-100. Olympus 1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 76mm thinner than Olympus SP-100.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus 1 and Olympus SP-100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 1 and Olympus SP-100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 1 is significantly lighter (192g ) than the Olympus SP-100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus 1 nor Olympus Stylus SP-100 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 1 and Olympus SP-100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus 1 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Olympus SP-100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1.
