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 Samsung ST6500 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). Samsung ST6500 has external dimensions of 102 x 57 x 19 mm (4.02 x 2.24 x 0.75″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-50 and the Samsung ST6500. Samsung ST6500 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 21mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Ricoh WG-50.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung ST6500 is 193g lighter than the Ricoh WG-50 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-50, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the ST6500.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung ST6500's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-50's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
