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-5 GPS and Samsung EX2F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-5 GPS has external dimensions of 125 x 65 x 32 mm (4.92 x 2.56 x 1.26″) and weighs 236 g (0.52 lb / 8.32 oz) (including batteries). Samsung EX2F has external dimensions of 112 x 62 x 29 mm (4.41 x 2.44 x 1.14″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-5 GPS and the Samsung EX2F. Samsung EX2F is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 13mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Ricoh WG-5 GPS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-5 GPS and Samsung EX2F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-5 GPS is significantly lighter (58g ) than the Samsung EX2F which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-5 GPS, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the EX2F.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-5 GPS and Samsung EX2F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung EX2F sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Ricoh WG-5 GPS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX2F.
