Canon RP vs Nikon Z7 II Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the RP and Z7 II.

As you can see, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon Z7 II to resolve greater detail with its extra 20 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older RP is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
