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-M5 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-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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and the Olympus E-M5 II. Panasonic G100 is 8mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Olympus E-M5 II but it is also 9mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and Olympus E-M5 II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic G100 and Olympus E-M5 II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic G100 is significantly lighter (117g ) than the Olympus E-M5 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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-M5 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
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the E-M5 Mark II, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the G100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic G100 and Olympus E-M5 II'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.
