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-50 and Olympus FE-47 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-50 has external dimensions of 123 x 62 x 30 mm (4.84 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 193 g (0.43 lb / 6.81 oz) (including batteries). Olympus FE-47 has external dimensions of 98 x 61 x 27 mm (3.86 x 2.4 x 1.06″) and weighs 204 g (0.45 lb / 7.20 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-50 and Olympus FE-47.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-50 is 11g lighter than the Olympus FE-47 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
