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 XZ-1 and Olympus TG-5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus XZ-1 has external dimensions of 111 x 65 x 42 mm (4.37 x 2.56 x 1.65″) and weighs 275 g (0.61 lb / 9.70 oz) (including batteries). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus XZ-1 and the Olympus TG-5. Olympus XZ-1 is 2mm narrower and 1mm shorter than Olympus TG-5 but it is also 10mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus XZ-1 and Olympus TG-5.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus XZ-1 and Olympus TG-5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-5 is 25g lighter than the Olympus XZ-1 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 XZ-1.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus XZ-1 and Olympus TG-5'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.
