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 TS30 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). Panasonic TS30 has external dimensions of 104 x 58 x 20 mm (4.09 x 2.28 x 0.79″) and weighs 142 g (0.31 lb / 5.01 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Olympus E-M10 IV and Panasonic TS30. Panasonic TS30 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 18mm narrower, 26mm shorter and 29mm thinner than Olympus E-M10 IV. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic TS30 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M10 IV doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M10 IV, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS30 is significantly lighter (241g ) than the Olympus E-M10 IV which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M10 IV, the total kit will weigh much higher.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M10 IV's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS30's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Olympus E-M10 IV LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic TS30 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to E-M10 IV.
