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-6 and Canon 650D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-6 has external dimensions of 118 x 66 x 33 mm (4.65 x 2.6 x 1.3″) and weighs 246 g (0.54 lb / 8.68 oz) (including batteries). Canon 650D has external dimensions of 133 x 100 x 79 mm (5.24 x 3.94 x 3.11″) and weighs 575 g (1.27 lb / 20.28 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and the Canon 650D. Ricoh WG-6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 34mm shorter and 46mm thinner than Canon 650D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh WG-6 has a built-in lens but Canon 650D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 650D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and Canon 650D.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Canon 650D.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-6 is significantly lighter (329g ) than the Canon 650D which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 650D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the 650D.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Canon 650D's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon 650D 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-6's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to 650D.
