Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon Z5 is significantly lighter (340g ) 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 Nikon Z5 and Canon R3 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 Z5 and the R3 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon Z5 and Canon R3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.20 inches.
Nikon Z5 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon R3 sports a
