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 WG-6 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 WG-6 has external dimensions of 118 x 66 x 33 mm (4.65 x 2.6 x 1.3″) and weighs 246 g (0.54 lb / 8.68 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-860 is 22g lighter than the Ricoh WG-6 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-860 and Ricoh WG-6'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 WG-6 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-860.
