Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax P80 is significantly lighter (105g ) than the Olympus TG-1 iHS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-1 iHS, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P80.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus TG-1 iHS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax P80's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
