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-M5 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-M5 II has external dimensions of 124 x 85 x 45 mm (4.88 x 3.35 x 1.77″) and weighs 469 g (1.03 lb / 16.54 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic TS6 and the Olympus E-M5 II. Panasonic TS6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 18mm shorter and 16mm thinner than Olympus E-M5 II. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic TS6 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M5 II doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M5 Mark II, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic TS6 and Olympus E-M5 II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS6 and Olympus E-M5 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 (255g ) than the Olympus E-M5 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-M5 Mark II, the total kit will weigh much higher.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic TS6 and Olympus E-M5 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus E-M5 II 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. Panasonic TS6's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to E-M5 Mark II.
