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-3 and Sony HX50V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-3 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 31 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.22″) and weighs 247 g (0.54 lb / 8.71 oz) (including batteries). Sony HX50V has external dimensions of 108 x 64 x 38 mm (4.25 x 2.52 x 1.5″) and weighs 272 g (0.60 lb / 9.59 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-3 and the Sony HX50V. Sony HX50V is 4mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Olympus TG-3 but it is also 7mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus TG-3 and Sony HX50V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-3 and Sony HX50V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-3 is 25g lighter than the Sony HX50V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-3, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the HX50V.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-3 and Sony HX50V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
