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 Sony NEX-7 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). Sony NEX-7 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 43 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 1.69″) and weighs 400 g (0.88 lb / 14.11 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 17g lighter than the Sony NEX-7 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 Sony NEX-7 has an APS-C sized 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 NEX-7 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV nor Sony Alpha NEX-7 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
