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 VG-120 and Nikon S02 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus VG-120 has external dimensions of 96 x 57 x 19 mm (3.78 x 2.24 x 0.75″) and weighs 120 g (0.26 lb / 4.23 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S02 has external dimensions of 77 x 51 x 18 mm (3.03 x 2.01 x 0.69″) and weighs 100 g (0.22 lb / 3.53 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus VG-120 and the Nikon S02. Nikon S02 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 19mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Olympus VG-120.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus VG-120 and Nikon S02.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S02 is significantly lighter (20g ) than the Olympus VG-120 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus VG-120 nor Nikon Coolpix S02 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus VG-120's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S02's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
