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 Pentax K-30 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). Pentax K-30 has external dimensions of 130 x 97 x 71 mm (5.12 x 3.82 x 2.8″) and weighs 650 g (1.43 lb / 22.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Ricoh G900 and Pentax K-30. Ricoh G900 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 31mm shorter and 38mm thinner than Pentax K-30. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh G900 has a built-in lens but Pentax K-30 doesn't. Once you put a lens on K-30, 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 (403g ) than the Pentax K-30 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 K-30, the total kit will weigh much higher.
