Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen during that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the E-M10 III and the Q7.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the E-M10 III and Q7 is 80 and 92 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The pic below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 III and Q7.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 III due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 III will deliver extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer E-M10 III should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
