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 and Olympus E-M5 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). 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 OM System OM-5 and the Olympus E-M5 II. OM System OM-5 has the same height with Olympus E-M5 II. On the other hand, with a width of 125mm, it is 1 wider and also with a thickness of 50mm, it is 5mm thicker than Olympus E-M5 II.

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 55g lighter than the Olympus E-M5 II 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 both OM System OM-5 and Olympus E-M5 II 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
Both the OM-5 and the E-M5 Mark II have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
OM System OM-5 and Olympus E-M5 II'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.
