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 FH5 and Olympus TG-4 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FH5 has external dimensions of 94 x 54 x 19 mm (3.7 x 2.13 x 0.75″) and weighs 121 g (0.27 lb / 4.27 oz) (including batteries). Olympus TG-4 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 31 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.22″) and weighs 247 g (0.54 lb / 8.71 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FH5 and Olympus TG-4.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FH5 is significantly lighter (126g ) than the Olympus TG-4 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-4, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FH5.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-4's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FH5's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
