Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Below is the front view sizing comparison of the E-M10 II against the TG-630 iHS.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the E-M10 II and TG-630 iHS is 82 and 94 respectively.

Typically, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 II and TG-630 iHS.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M10 II will resolve more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more modern E-M10 II is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
