Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic GH2 is significantly lighter (555g ) than the Olympus E-M1X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Since both Panasonic GH2 and Olympus E-M1X 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.
