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-1 iHS and Nikon P7100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-1 iHS has external dimensions of 112 x 67 x 30 mm (4.41 x 2.64 x 1.18″) and weighs 230 g (0.51 lb / 8.11 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P7100 has external dimensions of 116 x 77 x 48 mm (4.57 x 3.03 x 1.89″) and weighs 395 g (0.87 lb / 13.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-1 iHS and the Nikon P7100. Olympus TG-1 iHS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 10mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Nikon P7100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-1 iHS and Nikon P7100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-1 iHS is significantly lighter (165g ) than the Nikon P7100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the TG-1 iHS has a big advantage over the P7100 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-1 iHS and Nikon P7100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P7100 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 Olympus TG-1 iHS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7100.
