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-5 and Olympus SZ-11 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus TG-5 has external dimensions of 113 x 66 x 32 mm (4.45 x 2.6 x 1.26″) and weighs 250 g (0.55 lb / 8.82 oz) (including batteries). Olympus SZ-11 has external dimensions of 106 x 69 x 40 mm (4.17 x 2.72 x 1.57″) and weighs 226 g (0.50 lb / 7.97 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus TG-5 and the Olympus SZ-11. Olympus TG-5 is 3mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Olympus SZ-11 but it is also 7mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus TG-5 and Olympus SZ-11.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus TG-5 and Olympus SZ-11.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SZ-11 is 24g lighter than the Olympus TG-5 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-5, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the SZ-11.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-5 and Olympus SZ-11'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.
