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 ZS7 and Ricoh WG-4 GPS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS7 has external dimensions of 103 x 60 x 33 mm (4.06 x 2.36 x 1.3″) and weighs 218 g (0.48 lb / 7.69 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS7 is 17g lighter than the Ricoh WG-4 GPS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-4 GPS, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the ZS7.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS7 and Ricoh WG-4 GPS'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.
