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 Sony H20 and Olympus XZ-10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony H20 has external dimensions of 107 x 69 x 47 mm (4.21 x 2.72 x 1.85″) and weighs 250 g (0.55 lb / 8.82 oz) (including batteries). Olympus XZ-10 has external dimensions of 102 x 61 x 34 mm (4.03 x 2.41 x 1.35″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony H20 and the Olympus XZ-10. Olympus XZ-10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Sony H20.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony H20 and Olympus XZ-10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus XZ-10 is 29g lighter than the Sony H20 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 nor Olympus Stylus XZ-10 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony H20 and Olympus XZ-10'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.
