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 Olympus SH-3 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). Olympus SH-3 has external dimensions of 109 x 63 x 42 mm (4.29 x 2.48 x 1.65″) and weighs 271 g (0.60 lb / 9.56 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and the Olympus SH-3. Olympus SH-3 is 9mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Ricoh WG-6 but it is also 9mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and Olympus SH-3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Olympus SH-3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-6 is 25g lighter than the Olympus SH-3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 SH-3.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Olympus SH-3'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.
