Often, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the RP and G100.

As you can see, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The RP having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon RP will provide you with extra detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older RP will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
