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 6000 and Ricoh CX3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 6000 has external dimensions of 95 x 63 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.48 x 0.87″) and weighs 179 g (0.39 lb / 6.31 oz) (including batteries). Ricoh CX3 has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 29 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.14″) and weighs 206 g (0.45 lb / 7.27 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus 6000 and the Ricoh CX3. Olympus 6000 is 7mm narrower and 7mm thinner than Ricoh CX3 but it is also 5mm taller.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 6000 is 27g lighter than the Ricoh CX3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 6000 has a big advantage over the CX3 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh CX3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus 6000's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
