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.
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 Sony A77 II and Canon SL3 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
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the A77 II has a big advantage over the SL3 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A77 II and Canon SL3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
