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-2 iHS and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-2 iHS has external dimensions of 111 x 67 x 29 mm (4.37 x 2.64 x 1.14″) and weighs 230 g (0.51 lb / 8.11 oz) (including batteries). Samsung EX2F has external dimensions of 112 x 62 x 29 mm (4.41 x 2.44 x 1.14″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-2 iHS and the Samsung EX2F.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-2 iHS and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-2 iHS is significantly lighter (64g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the TG-2 iHS has a big advantage over the EX2F which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-2 iHS and Samsung EX2F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung EX2F sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Olympus TG-2 iHS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
