Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon M3 and Canon M50 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M3 has external dimensions of 111 x 68 x 44 mm (4.37 x 2.68 x 1.73″) and weighs 366 g (0.81 lb / 12.91 oz) (including batteries). Canon M50 II has external dimensions of 116 x 88 x 59 mm (4.57 x 3.46 x 2.32″) and weighs 387 g (0.85 lb / 13.65 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M3 and the Canon M50 II. Canon M3 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 20mm shorter and 15mm thinner than Canon M50 II.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M3 and Canon M50 II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M3 and Canon M50 II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M3 is 21g lighter than the Canon M50 II but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 M3 and Canon M50 II have the same Canon EF-M lens mount and APS-C sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS M3 nor Canon EOS M50 Mark II provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon M3 and Canon M50 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Canon M3 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon M50 II sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
