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-870 and Kodak Z950 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-870 has external dimensions of 113 x 64 x 28 mm (4.45 x 2.52 x 1.1″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries). Kodak Z950 has external dimensions of 110 x 67 x 36 mm (4.33 x 2.64 x 1.42″) and weighs 243 g (0.54 lb / 8.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-870 and the Kodak Z950. Olympus TG-870 is 3mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Kodak Z950 but it is also 3mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus TG-870 and Kodak Z950.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-870 is 22g lighter than the Kodak Z950 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-870, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the Z950.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-870 and Kodak Z950's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus TG-870 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 Kodak Z950 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to TG-870.
