Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus E-PL8 and Olympus E-PL8 have exactly the same weight of 357g.
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-PL8 and Olympus E-PL8 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.
