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 TL100 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 TL100 has external dimensions of 105 x 61 x 37 mm (4.13 x 2.4 x 1.46″) and weighs 219 g (0.48 lb / 7.72 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SH-1 and the Samsung TL100. Samsung TL100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 5mm thinner than Olympus SH-1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus SH-1 and Samsung TL100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung TL100 is significantly lighter (52g ) than the Olympus SH-1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus SH-1 nor Samsung TL100 (ST50) 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's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung TL100's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
