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 Olympus E-M10 III 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). Olympus E-M10 III has external dimensions of 122 x 84 x 50 mm (4.8 x 3.31 x 1.97″) and weighs 410 g (0.90 lb / 14.46 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus E-M5 II and the Olympus E-M10 III. Olympus E-M10 III is 2mm narrower and 1mm shorter than Olympus E-M5 II but it is also 5mm thicker.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus E-M10 III is 59g 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 both Olympus E-M5 II and Olympus E-M10 III have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and Four Thirds sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the E-M5 Mark II has a big advantage over the E-M10 III which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M5 II and Olympus E-M10 III's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Olympus E-M10 III 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.
