Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

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). Samsung ST6500 has external dimensions of 102 x 57 x 19 mm (4.02 x 2.24 x 0.75″) and weighs (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung ST6500 is 250g lighter than the Olympus TG-5 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
