Typically, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements only by going over specifications. The visual underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the RP and SL2-S.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon RP to offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older RP is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
