Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Olympus E-M5 II and Fujifilm X-T1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus E-M5 II has external dimensions of 124 x 85 x 45 mm (4.88 x 3.35 x 1.77″) and weighs 469 g (1.03 lb / 16.54 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X-T1 has external dimensions of 129 x 90 x 47 mm (5.08 x 3.54 x 1.84″) and weighs 440 g (0.97 lb / 15.52 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus E-M5 II and the Fujifilm X-T1. Olympus E-M5 II is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 2mm thinner than Fujifilm X-T1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus E-M5 II and Fujifilm X-T1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus E-M5 II and Fujifilm X-T1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X-T1 is 29g lighter than the Olympus E-M5 II 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 also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm X-T1 has an APS-C sized sensor and Olympus E-M5 II has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Olympus E-M5 II's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm X-T1 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Both the E-M5 Mark II and the X-T1 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M5 II and Fujifilm X-T1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Fujifilm X-T1 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Olympus E-M5 II sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
