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 Olympus SZ-10 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). Olympus SZ-10 has external dimensions of 106 x 67 x 38 mm (4.17 x 2.64 x 1.5″) and weighs 215 g (0.47 lb / 7.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-70 and the Olympus SZ-10. Ricoh WG-70 is 5mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Olympus SZ-10 but it is also 17mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-70 and Olympus SZ-10.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-70 and Olympus SZ-10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-70 is 22g lighter than the Olympus SZ-10 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 SZ-10.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SZ-10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-70's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
