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 R3 and Leica M Typ 262 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon R3 has external dimensions of 150 x 143 x 87 mm (5.91 x 5.63 x 3.43″) and weighs 1015 g (2.24 lb / 35.80 oz) (including batteries). Leica M Typ 262 has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 42 mm (5.47 x 3.15 x 1.65″) and weighs 600 g (1.32 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon R3 and the Leica M Typ 262. Leica M Typ 262 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 63mm shorter and 45mm thinner than Canon R3.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica M Typ 262 is significantly lighter (415g ) than the Canon R3 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 R3 and Leica M Typ 262 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
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the R3 has a big advantage over the M Typ 262 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon R3's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica M Typ 262's 3 screen.
Moreover, Canon R3 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, Leica M Typ 262 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to R3.
