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 PX and Canon A4000 IS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh PX has external dimensions of 100 x 55 x 21 mm (3.94 x 2.17 x 0.83″) and weighs 156 g (0.34 lb / 5.50 oz) (including batteries). Canon A4000 IS has external dimensions of 95 x 56 x 24 mm (3.74 x 2.2 x 0.94″) and weighs 145 g (0.32 lb / 5.11 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A4000 IS is 11g lighter than the Ricoh PX but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the PX has a big advantage over the A4000 IS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon A4000 IS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh PX's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
