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 M 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 M has external dimensions of 109 x 66 x 32 mm (4.29 x 2.6 x 1.26″) and weighs 298 g (0.66 lb / 10.51 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and the Canon M. Ricoh WG-6 has the same height with Canon M. On the other hand, with a width of 118mm, it is 9 wider and also with a thickness of 33mm, it is 1mm thicker than Canon M. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh WG-6 has a built-in lens but Canon M doesn't. Once you put a lens on M, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and Canon M.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Canon M.
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 (52g ) than the Canon M 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 M, 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 M.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Canon M's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
