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 550WP and Olympus XZ-10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 550WP has external dimensions of 94 x 62 x 22 mm (3.7 x 2.44 x 0.87″) and weighs 167 g (0.37 lb / 5.89 oz) (including batteries). Olympus XZ-10 has external dimensions of 102 x 61 x 34 mm (4.03 x 2.41 x 1.35″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus 550WP and the Olympus XZ-10. Olympus 550WP is 8mm narrower and 12mm thinner than Olympus XZ-10 but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus 550WP and Olympus XZ-10.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 550WP and Olympus XZ-10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 550WP is significantly lighter (54g ) than the Olympus XZ-10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 550WP has a big advantage over the XZ-10 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus XZ-10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus 550WP's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
