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 Sony HX10V 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). Sony HX10V has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 34 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.34″) and weighs 234 g (0.52 lb / 8.25 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and the Sony HX10V. Sony HX10V is 13mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Ricoh WG-6 but it is also 1mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and Sony HX10V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Sony HX10V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX10V is 12g lighter than the Ricoh WG-6 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 HX10V.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Sony HX10V'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.
