Plainly, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SL3 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon SL3 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent SL3 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
