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 M50 II and Pentax K-3 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Pentax K-3 II has external dimensions of 131 x 100 x 77 mm (5.16 x 3.94 x 3.03″) and weighs 800 g (1.76 lb / 28.22 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M50 II and the Pentax K-3 II. Canon M50 II is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Pentax K-3 II.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M50 II and Pentax K-3 II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M50 II and Pentax K-3 II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M50 II is significantly lighter (413g ) than the Pentax K-3 II 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 M50 II and Pentax K-3 II 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
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the K-3 II, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M50 Mark II.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Pentax K-3 II's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon M50 II's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Canon M50 II sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Pentax K-3 II has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to M50 Mark II.
