Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Olympus E-M10 IV and Panasonic GH2 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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).

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 59g lighter than the Panasonic GH2 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Olympus E-M10 IV and Panasonic GH2 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
Unfortunately neither Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
