Clearly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SL3 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon SL3 will give you more detail having its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent SL3 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
