Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus E-M10 IV is significantly lighter (70g ) than the Canon SL2 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon SL2 has an APS-C sized sensor and Olympus E-M10 IV has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Olympus E-M10 IV's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon SL2 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV nor Canon EOS Rebel SL2 (EOS 200D / Kiss X9) provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
