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 Ricoh G700SE and Panasonic TS3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh G700SE has external dimensions of 117 x 68 x 32 mm (4.61 x 2.68 x 1.26″) and weighs 307 g (0.68 lb / 10.83 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic TS3 has external dimensions of 103 x 64 x 27 mm (4.06 x 2.52 x 1.06″) and weighs 197 g (0.43 lb / 6.95 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh G700SE and the Panasonic TS3. Panasonic TS3 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 5mm thinner than Ricoh G700SE.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS3 is significantly lighter (110g ) than the Ricoh G700SE which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
