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 T6i 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 T6i has external dimensions of 132 x 101 x 78 mm (5.2 x 3.98 x 3.07″) and weighs 555 g (1.22 lb / 19.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and the Canon T6i. Ricoh WG-6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 35mm shorter and 45mm thinner than Canon T6i. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh WG-6 has a built-in lens but Canon T6i doesn't. Once you put a lens on T6i, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and Canon T6i.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Canon T6i.
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 (309g ) than the Canon T6i 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 T6i, 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 T6i.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Canon T6i's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon T6i 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 T6i.
