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 SH-1 and Samsung SH100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SH-1 has external dimensions of 109 x 63 x 42 mm (4.29 x 2.48 x 1.65″) and weighs 271 g (0.60 lb / 9.56 oz) (including batteries). Samsung SH100 has external dimensions of 93 x 54 x 19 mm (3.66 x 2.13 x 0.75″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SH-1 and the Samsung SH100. Samsung SH100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 16mm narrower, 9mm shorter and 23mm thinner than Olympus SH-1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus SH-1 and Samsung SH100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus SH-1 and Samsung SH100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung SH100 is 271g lighter than the Olympus SH-1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus SH-1 nor Samsung SH100 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 SH-1 and Samsung SH100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
