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 WG-30 and Olympus TG-630 iHS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-30 has external dimensions of 123 x 62 x 30 mm (4.84 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 192 g (0.42 lb / 6.77 oz) (including batteries). Olympus TG-630 iHS has external dimensions of 98 x 66 x 22 mm (3.86 x 2.6 x 0.87″) and weighs 167 g (0.37 lb / 5.89 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-30 and the Olympus TG-630 iHS. Olympus TG-630 iHS is 25mm narrower and 8mm thinner than Ricoh WG-30 but it is also 4mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-30 and Olympus TG-630 iHS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-30 and Olympus TG-630 iHS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus TG-630 iHS is 25g lighter than the Ricoh WG-30 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
