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 Sony WX1 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). Sony WX1 has external dimensions of 91 x 52 x 20 mm (3.58 x 2.05 x 0.79″) and weighs 149 g (0.33 lb / 5.26 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus XZ-10 and the Sony WX1. Sony WX1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 9mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Olympus XZ-10.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus XZ-10 and Sony WX1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX1 is significantly lighter (72g ) than the Olympus XZ-10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus XZ-10 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus XZ-10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony WX1's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
