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 Panasonic FH10 and Olympus TG-5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FH10 has external dimensions of 94 x 54 x 18 mm (3.7 x 2.13 x 0.71″) and weighs 103 g (0.23 lb / 3.63 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-5's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FH10's 2.7" screen.
