Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Since Sony A9 has a Full frame sensor and Olympus E-M10 IV has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Olympus E-M10 IV's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Sony A9 lenses.
