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 Panasonic TS6 and Olympus E-M10 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic TS6 has external dimensions of 110 x 67 x 29 mm (4.33 x 2.64 x 1.14″) and weighs 214 g (0.47 lb / 7.55 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M10 II has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 47 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 1.85″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic TS6 and the Olympus E-M10 II. Panasonic TS6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 16mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Olympus E-M10 II. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic TS6 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M10 II doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M10 II, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic TS6 and Olympus E-M10 II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS6 and Olympus E-M10 II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS6 is significantly lighter (176g ) than the Olympus E-M10 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M10 II, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the E-M10 II.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic TS6 and Olympus E-M10 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus E-M10 II features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Panasonic TS6 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to E-M10 II.
