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 WX500 and Olympus E-M10 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony WX500 has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 36 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.42″) and weighs 236 g (0.52 lb / 8.32 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M10 II has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 47 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 1.85″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony WX500 and the Olympus E-M10 II. Sony WX500 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 18mm narrower, 25mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Olympus E-M10 II. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Sony WX500 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M10 II doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M10 II, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony WX500 and Olympus E-M10 II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX500 is significantly lighter (154g ) than the Olympus E-M10 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M10 II, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500 nor Olympus OM-D E-M10 II 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
Sony WX500 and Olympus E-M10 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.
