Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon SL3 and Nikon D3300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon D3300 is 19g lighter than the Canon SL3 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon SL3 and Nikon D3300 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 Canon EOS Rebel SL3 (EOS 250D / EOS Kiss X10) nor Nikon D3300 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SL3 and Nikon D3300's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".
On the other hand, Canon SL3 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. Nikon D3300's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to SL3.
