More often than not, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing simply by going through specifications. The photograph here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the RP and Fujifilm X-T2.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The RP featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon RP will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer RP should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
