Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick summation of how the M6 scores against the RP when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M6 and Canon EOS RP. The complete galleries are provided at Canon M6 Gallery and Canon RP Gallery.

Usually, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The picture below might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 and RP.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M6 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Canon RP will give you greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M6 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
