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 Ricoh G900 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). Ricoh G900 has external dimensions of 118 x 66 x 33 mm (4.65 x 2.6 x 1.3″) and weighs 247 g (0.54 lb / 8.71 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-860 and the Ricoh G900. Olympus TG-860 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 5mm thinner than Ricoh G900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus TG-860 and Ricoh G900.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-860 and Ricoh G900.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-860 is 23g lighter than the Ricoh G900 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-860 and Ricoh G900'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 Ricoh G900 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-860.
