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-2 and Sony ZV-1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SH-2 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). Sony ZV-1 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 44 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.73″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SH-2 and the Sony ZV-1. Sony ZV-1 is 4mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Olympus SH-2 but it is also 2mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus SH-2 and Sony ZV-1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus SH-2 and Sony ZV-1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SH-2 is 23g lighter than the Sony ZV-1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus SH-2 nor Sony ZV-1 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-2 and Sony ZV-1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony ZV-1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Olympus SH-2's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZV-1.
