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 1s and Olympus SP-100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 1s 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 1s and the Olympus SP-100. Olympus 1s 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 1s and Olympus SP-100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 1s 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 1s 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 1s 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 1s and Olympus SP-100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus 1s 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 1s.
