Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SL3 is significantly lighter (198g ) than the Sony A77 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Since both Canon SL3 and Sony A77 II have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
