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 RX100 VII 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 RX100 VII has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 43 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.69″) and weighs 302 g (0.67 lb / 10.65 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Olympus E-M10 IV and Sony RX100 VII. Sony RX100 VII is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 20mm narrower, 26mm shorter and 6mm thinner than Olympus E-M10 IV. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Sony RX100 VII 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.
Sony RX100 VII is significantly lighter (81g ) 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.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
