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 ZS50 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 ZS50 has external dimensions of 111 x 65 x 34 mm (4.37 x 2.56 x 1.34″) and weighs 243 g (0.54 lb / 8.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh PX and the Panasonic ZS50. Ricoh PX is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 10mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Panasonic ZS50.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh PX and Panasonic ZS50.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh PX and Panasonic ZS50.
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 (87g ) than the Panasonic ZS50 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 ZS50 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS50'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.
