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 TS2 and Olympus TG-830 iHS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic TS2 has external dimensions of 99 x 63 x 24 mm (3.9 x 2.48 x 0.94″) and weighs 188 g (0.41 lb / 6.63 oz) (including batteries). Olympus TG-830 iHS has external dimensions of 109 x 67 x 28 mm (4.29 x 2.64 x 1.1″) and weighs 214 g (0.47 lb / 7.55 oz) (including batteries).
