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 8010 and Olympus TG-3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 8010 has external dimensions of 98 x 64 x 24 mm (3.86 x 2.52 x 0.94″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 oz) (including batteries). Olympus TG-3 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 31 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.22″) and weighs 247 g (0.54 lb / 8.71 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus 8010 and the Olympus TG-3. Olympus 8010 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 7mm thinner than Olympus TG-3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 8010 and Olympus TG-3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 8010 is 2g lighter than the Olympus TG-3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Olympus TG-3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus 8010's 2.7" screen.
