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 G7 and Olympus E-M10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic G7 has external dimensions of 125 x 86 x 77 mm (4.92 x 3.39 x 3.03″) and weighs 410 g (0.90 lb / 14.46 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M10 has external dimensions of 119 x 82 x 46 mm (4.69 x 3.24 x 1.81″) and weighs 396 g (0.87 lb / 13.97 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G7 and the Olympus E-M10. Olympus E-M10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 31mm thinner than Panasonic G7.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus E-M10 is 14g lighter than the Panasonic G7 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 G7 and Olympus E-M10 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 DMC-G7 nor Olympus OM-D E-M10 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 G7 and Olympus E-M10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Olympus E-M10 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic G7 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
