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 A9 II and Olympus E-M1X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A9 II has external dimensions of 129 x 96 x 76 mm (5.08 x 3.78 x 2.99″) and weighs 678 g (1.49 lb / 23.92 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 A9 II and the Olympus E-M1X. Sony A9 II is 15mm narrower and 51mm shorter than Olympus E-M1X but it is also 1mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A9 II and Olympus E-M1X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A9 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 A9 II is significantly lighter (319g ) 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 A9 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 A9 II lenses.
Weather Sealing
Both the A9 Mark II and the E-M1X have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A9 II and Olympus E-M1X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony A9 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.
