The 650D due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon RP will resolve greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 650D is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
