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 9000 and Olympus XZ-10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 9000 has external dimensions of 96 x 60 x 31 mm (3.78 x 2.36 x 1.22″) and weighs 225 g (0.50 lb / 7.94 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 9000 and the Olympus XZ-10. Olympus 9000 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 1mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Olympus XZ-10.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus XZ-10 is 4g lighter than the Olympus 9000 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus 9000 (mju 9000) nor Olympus Stylus XZ-10 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 XZ-10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus 9000's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
