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 Pentax E85 and Pentax S1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax E85 has external dimensions of 93 x 58 x 24 mm (3.66 x 2.28 x 0.94″) and weighs 145 g (0.32 lb / 5.11 oz) (including batteries). Pentax S1 has external dimensions of 114 x 58 x 28 mm (4.49 x 2.28 x 1.1″) and weighs 157 g (0.35 lb / 5.54 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax E85 and the Pentax S1. Pentax E85 is 21mm narrower and 4mm thinner than Pentax E85 but they have the same height of 58mm.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Pentax E85 and Pentax S1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax E85 is 12g lighter than the Pentax S1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Pentax Optio E85 nor Pentax Optio S1 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Pentax E85 and Pentax S1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
