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 FZ2500 and Ricoh WG-70 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ2500 has external dimensions of 138 x 102 x 135 mm (5.42 x 4.01 x 5.3″) and weighs 915 g (2.02 lb / 32.28 oz) (including batteries). Ricoh WG-70 has external dimensions of 123 x 62 x 30 mm (4.84 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 193 g (0.43 lb / 6.81 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ2500 and the Ricoh WG-70. Ricoh WG-70 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 40mm shorter and 105mm thinner than Panasonic FZ2500.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ2500 and Ricoh WG-70.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ2500 and Ricoh WG-70.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-70 is significantly lighter (722g ) than the Panasonic FZ2500 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-70, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FZ2500.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ2500's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-70's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Panasonic FZ2500 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Ricoh WG-70 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ2500.
