Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M100 is significantly lighter (401g ) than the Pentax KP which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon M100 and Pentax KP have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
