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 R6 and OM System OM-5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon R6 has external dimensions of 138 x 98 x 88 mm (5.43 x 3.84 x 3.48″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). OM System OM-5 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 50 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 1.97″) and weighs 414 g (0.91 lb / 14.60 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon R6 and the OM System OM-5. OM System OM-5 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 13mm narrower, 13mm shorter and 38mm thinner than Canon R6.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon R6 and OM System OM-5.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon R6 and OM System OM-5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
OM System OM-5 is significantly lighter (266g ) than the Canon R6 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 R6 has a Full frame sensor and OM System OM-5 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, OM System OM-5's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon R6 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Both the R6 and the OM-5 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon R6 and OM System OM-5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
