Canon RP vs Olympus E-M10 IV Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The image below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the RP and E-M10 IV.
As you can tell, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The RP featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh easier and the Canon RP will give you more detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged RP is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
