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 Sony A6100 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). Sony A6100 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 59 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 2.32″) and weighs 396 g (0.87 lb / 13.97 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M3 and the Sony A6100. Canon M3 is 9mm narrower and 15mm thinner than Sony A6100 but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M3 and Sony A6100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M3 and Sony A6100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M3 is 30g lighter than the Sony A6100 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 Sony A6100 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS M3 nor Sony Alpha a6100 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 Sony A6100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.
