Sometimes, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The visual underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the RP and GH1.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The RP because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon RP will produce greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent RP is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
