My E-M1 with RRS grip and 14-35mm f2 has a combined weight of 1.65kg. I can carry this around with me all day long, anywhere, and not raise a sweat. I just handed it to my wife and asked her if this is heavy and would she be able to carry it around. She didn't think it heavy at all.

And no, 'little' isn't what m4/3 is all about. It's about providing options to meet all manner of requirements. Yes, it does provide smaller and lighter lenses than equivalent FF/APS-C systems, but the intent is not to be a Nikon 1 or Pentax Q.

The 12-40mm f2.8 is just over a third of the weight of the 14-35mm f2 and way smaller. My 35-100mm f2 is much bigger and heavier and I'll carry that around with me all day as well. But for crying out loud, 380g isn't heavy. That's a can of Coke.

My work boots weigh nearly 1kg each.

But it could certainly be more larger than he wants or more heavier than he wants to carry around.

It just depends on how he wants to use it.
