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 Canon M50 and Olympus E-M10 IV side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M50 has external dimensions of 116 x 88 x 59 mm (4.57 x 3.46 x 2.32″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M10 IV has external dimensions of 122 x 84 x 49 mm (4.8 x 3.31 x 1.93″) and weighs 383 g (0.84 lb / 13.51 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M50 and the Olympus E-M10 IV. Olympus E-M10 IV is 4mm shorter and 10mm thinner than Canon M50 but it is also 6mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M50 and Olympus E-M10 IV.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M50 and Olympus E-M10 IV.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus E-M10 IV is 7g lighter than the Canon M50 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon M50 has an APS-C sized sensor and Olympus E-M10 IV has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Olympus E-M10 IV's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon M50 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS M50 nor Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV 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
Canon M50 and Olympus E-M10 IV's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Olympus E-M10 IV features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon M50 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
