To sum up, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R100 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Canon RP will give you extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more modern R100 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
