Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax RZ10 is significantly lighter (168g ) than the Olympus XZ-2 iHS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather sealed body, we believe that RZ10 has a big advantage over XZ-2 iHS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus XZ-2 iHS's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax RZ10's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Olympus XZ-2 iHS LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Pentax RZ10 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to XZ-2 iHS.
