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 XZ-10 and Pentax W80 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus XZ-10 has external dimensions of 102 x 61 x 34 mm (4.03 x 2.41 x 1.35″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries). Pentax W80 has external dimensions of 100 x 56 x 25 mm (3.94 x 2.2 x 0.98″) and weighs 156 g (0.34 lb / 5.50 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus XZ-10 and the Pentax W80. Pentax W80 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 2mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 9mm thinner than Olympus XZ-10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax W80 is significantly lighter (65g ) than the Olympus XZ-10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
