Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Ricoh G900 and Panasonic G85 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). Panasonic G85 has external dimensions of 128 x 89 x 74 mm (5.04 x 3.5 x 2.91″) and weighs 505 g (1.11 lb / 17.81 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Ricoh G900 and Panasonic G85. Ricoh G900 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 23mm shorter and 41mm thinner than Panasonic G85. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh G900 has a built-in lens but Panasonic G85 doesn't. Once you put a lens on G85, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh G900 is significantly lighter (258g ) than the Panasonic G85 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on G85, the total kit will weigh much higher.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh G900 and Panasonic G85's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
On the other hand, Panasonic G85 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Ricoh G900's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G85.
