Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A7 III is significantly lighter (465g ) than the Canon R1 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 R1 and Sony A7 III have the same Full frame sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Both the R1 and the A7 III have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.

Canon R1's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony A7 III's 3″ screen.
