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 Olympus TG-850 iHS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-1 iHS and Olympus TG-850 iHS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus TG-850 iHS 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 TG-850 iHS.
