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 ZV-1 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 ZV-1 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 44 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.73″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and the Sony ZV-1. Sony ZV-1 is 13mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Ricoh WG-6 but it is also 11mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-6 and Sony ZV-1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-6 and Sony ZV-1.
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 (48g ) than the Sony ZV-1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 ZV-1.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Sony ZV-1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony ZV-1 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 ZV-1.
