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 Sony ZV-1 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). 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-70 and the Sony ZV-1. Sony ZV-1 is 18mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Ricoh WG-70 but it is also 14mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-70 and Sony ZV-1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-70 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-70 is significantly lighter (101g ) 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-70, 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
Sony ZV-1's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-70's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, 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. On the other hand, Ricoh WG-70 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZV-1.
