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 Panasonic LZ30 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). Panasonic LZ30 has external dimensions of 124 x 84 x 92 mm (4.88 x 3.31 x 3.62″) and weighs 552 g (1.22 lb / 19.47 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh PX and the Panasonic LZ30. Ricoh PX is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 29mm shorter and 71mm thinner than Panasonic LZ30.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh PX is significantly lighter (396g ) than the Panasonic LZ30 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the PX has a big advantage over the LZ30 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic LZ30'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.
