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-70 and Nikon P7700 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-70 has external dimensions of 123 x 62 x 30 mm (4.84 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 193 g (0.43 lb / 6.81 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P7700 has external dimensions of 119 x 73 x 50 mm (4.69 x 2.87 x 1.97″) and weighs 392 g (0.86 lb / 13.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-70 and the Nikon P7700. Ricoh WG-70 is 11mm shorter and 20mm thinner than Nikon P7700 but it is also 4mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-70 and Nikon P7700.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-70 and Nikon P7700.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-70 is significantly lighter (199g ) than the Nikon P7700 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-70, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P7700.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P7700's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-70's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Nikon P7700 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. On the other hand, Ricoh WG-70 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7700.
