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 OM System OM-5 II and Panasonic G100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. OM System OM-5 II 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). Panasonic G100 has external dimensions of 116 x 83 x 54 mm (4.57 x 3.27 x 2.13″) and weighs 352 g (0.78 lb / 12.42 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic G100 is significantly lighter (62g ) than the OM System OM-5 II 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 both OM System OM-5 II and Panasonic G100 have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and Four Thirds sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the OM-5 Mark II has a big advantage over the G100 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
OM System OM-5 II and Panasonic G100'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.
