The RP was manufactured 9 years later than the GH1 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going through a full comparison, below is a concise summary of how the RP scores versus the GH1 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS RP & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon RP Gallery & Panasonic GH1 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera, you will want to consider its weight and dimensions.

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.
