LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-860's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-M1's 1.5 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Olympus TG-860 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Ricoh WG-M1 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-860.
