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 TG-850 iHS and Nikon P310 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-850 iHS has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 28 mm (4.33 x 2.52 x 1.09″) and weighs 218 g (0.48 lb / 7.69 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P310 has external dimensions of 103 x 58 x 32 mm (4.06 x 2.28 x 1.26″) and weighs 194 g (0.43 lb / 6.84 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-850 iHS and the Nikon P310. Nikon P310 is 7mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Olympus TG-850 iHS but it is also 4mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus TG-850 iHS and Nikon P310.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-850 iHS and Nikon P310.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P310 is 24g lighter than the Olympus TG-850 iHS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-850 iHS, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P310.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-850 iHS and Nikon P310's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus TG-850 iHS features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Nikon P310 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-850 iHS.
