Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Olympus E-M10 II is significantly lighter (510g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 100S 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm GFX 100S has a Medium format sensor and Olympus E-M10 II has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Olympus E-M10 II's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm GFX 100S lenses.
