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-860 and Olympus TG-2 iHS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-860 has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 28 mm (5.12 x 2.52 x 1.1″) and weighs 224 g (0.49 lb / 7.90 oz) (including batteries). Olympus TG-2 iHS has external dimensions of 111 x 67 x 29 mm (4.37 x 2.64 x 1.14″) and weighs 230 g (0.51 lb / 8.11 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-860 and the Olympus TG-2 iHS. Olympus TG-860 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Olympus TG-2 iHS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus TG-860 and Olympus TG-2 iHS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-860 and Olympus TG-2 iHS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-860 is 6g lighter than the Olympus TG-2 iHS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-860 and Olympus TG-2 iHS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus TG-860 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 Olympus TG-2 iHS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-860.
