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 G900 and Olympus SH-50 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh G900 has external dimensions of 118 x 66 x 33 mm (4.65 x 2.6 x 1.3″) and weighs 247 g (0.54 lb / 8.71 oz) (including batteries). Olympus SH-50 has external dimensions of 112 x 63 x 42 mm (4.41 x 2.48 x 1.65″) and weighs 269 g (0.59 lb / 9.49 oz) (including batteries).

Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh G900 and Olympus SH-50.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh G900 and Olympus SH-50.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh G900 is 22g lighter than the Olympus SH-50 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G900, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the SH-50.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh G900 and Olympus SH-50's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
