Olympus EM10 MKII????

I'm thinking of changing equipment as I'm finding my Nikon D3100 a little heavy due to an impairment to my right hand.
Have had a look (and feel) of the Olympus EM10 and wonder whether anyone out there has experience of this model? It gets a 5 star rating on the EPZ review page...which, of course, is just great.
Seems the body weighs 390grams (the D3100 = 505g).
Is there anything else I should be looking at?
I would prefer a viewfinder and my budget is around £450-£600
Grateful for your thoughts...as always😀
Regards Jeff

Its not the weight of the camera you should be looking at but the system as a whole, 115grams is nothing (going by body) but when you start factoring lenses as well all those grams start adding up.
For me the biggest saving is in bulk, unless I`m carrying flash units.
These are great little camera`s though, ideal if you want to travel small and light.
If you can find an extra 20 quid the twin lens kit would be a good deal.

I have the earlier model of the Olympus OMD EM 10 and just love it! It is light enough to carry all the time - which I really appreciated when hiking in the Pyrenees last year. It is also great for travel as the body plus 3 lenses weighed just over 1kg!
The image stabilisation works a treat and there is a live comp feature that builds the image on the screen for long exposures like star trails and light painting. The prime lenses are very sharp, particularly the 60mm macro, which is my favourite. The new model has focus bracketing, so you can do focus stacks, which my older camera lacks. Overall I think this camera would be a great choice.
NB I don't have any links to Olympus, but have used their cameras since the original OM1 film camera.

I've found the EM10 (Mk1) a great purchase - replaced a Stylus 1
I've the body, a Zuiko 14-42, 45-150 and a Lumix 25mm plus spare battery, memory card and a couple of filters in a small bag

I like the image quality and the menus give wide and varied set up choices while the controls are well situated.
Immediately before this I had a Stylus 1 and an E410 having to decide which I would take (sometime both).
This would be a good choice in my opinion. Mine has replaced both of the previous cameras and I miss neither in owning the EM10.

Am excited to report back that I have made the decision to p/ex my D3100 & lens for an Olympus OM-D E-M1Olympus OM-D E-M10 with 14-42 lens.
Looks like my hand will need surgery (diagnosed as Dupuytren's contracture) so even if I get some relief it won't get much better.
Thanks to everyone for their help and advice.. 😁😁
Only downside is I may not get the camera until next week....looking forward to uploading 😁😁😁
