Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Ricoh WG-6 and Canon T7 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 T7 has external dimensions of 129 x 101 x 78 mm (5.08 x 3.98 x 3.07″) and weighs 475 g (1.05 lb / 16.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Canon T7. Ricoh WG-6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 35mm shorter and 45mm thinner than Canon T7. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Ricoh WG-6 has a built-in lens but Canon T7 doesn't. Once you put a lens on T7, its thickness will increase significantly.

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 (229g ) than the Canon T7 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 T7, the total kit will weigh much higher.
