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 Sony A7 II and Olympus E-M1X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A7 II has external dimensions of 127 x 96 x 60 mm (5 x 3.78 x 2.36″) and weighs 599 g (1.32 lb / 21.13 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 Sony A7 II and the Olympus E-M1X. Sony A7 II is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 17mm narrower, 51mm shorter and 15mm thinner than Olympus E-M1X.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A7 II and Olympus E-M1X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A7 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.
Sony A7 II is significantly lighter (398g ) than the Olympus E-M1X 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 Sony A7 II has a Full frame sensor and Olympus E-M1X has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Olympus E-M1X's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Sony A7 II lenses.
Weather Sealing
Both the A7 II and the E-M1X have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A7 II and Olympus E-M1X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony A7 II features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Olympus E-M1X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
