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 G100 and Olympus E-M10 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic G100 has external dimensions of 116 x 83 x 54 mm (4.57 x 3.27 x 2.13″) and weighs 352 g (0.78 lb / 12.42 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M10 II has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 47 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 1.85″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and the Olympus E-M10 II.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and Olympus E-M10 II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic G100 and Olympus E-M10 II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic G100 is 38g lighter than the Olympus E-M10 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 Panasonic G100 and Olympus E-M10 II 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
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 nor Olympus OM-D E-M10 II provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic G100 and Olympus E-M10 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Olympus E-M10 II features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic G100 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
