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 Panasonic SZ10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

Panasonic SZ10 has external dimensions of 99 x 60 x 30 mm (3.9 x 2.36 x 1.18″) and weighs 177 g (0.39 lb / 6.24 oz) (including batteries).

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