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 A6300 and OM System OM-5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A6300 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 49 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 1.93″) and weighs 404 g (0.89 lb / 14.25 oz) (including batteries). OM System OM-5 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 50 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 1.97″) and weighs 414 g (0.91 lb / 14.60 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony A6300 and the OM System OM-5. Sony A6300 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 18mm shorter and 1mm thinner than OM System OM-5.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A6300 and OM System OM-5.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A6300 and OM System OM-5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A6300 is 10g lighter than the OM System OM-5 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 Sony A6300 has an APS-C sized sensor and OM System OM-5 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, OM System OM-5's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Sony A6300 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Both the A6300 and the OM-5 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A6300 and OM System OM-5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony A6300 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, OM System OM-5 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
