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 Panasonic FZ1000 II and Olympus E-M1X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ1000 II has external dimensions of 136 x 97 x 132 mm (5.35 x 3.82 x 5.2″) and weighs 808 g (1.78 lb / 28.50 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M1X has external dimensions of 144 x 147 x 75 mm (5.67 x 5.79 x 2.95″) and weighs 997 g (2.20 lb / 35.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ1000 II and the Olympus E-M1X. Panasonic FZ1000 II is 8mm narrower and 50mm shorter than Olympus E-M1X but it is also 57mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic FZ1000 II has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M1X doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M1X, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ1000 II and Olympus E-M1X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ1000 II and Olympus E-M1X.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ1000 II is significantly lighter (189g ) than the Olympus E-M1X 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-M1X, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the E-M1X, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FZ1000 II.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ1000 II and Olympus E-M1X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
