Canon RP has a
26.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 8 processor. On the other hand, Nikon Z6 II has a
24.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 23.9 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Dual Expeed 6 processor.
Below you can see the EOS RP and Z6 Mark II sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon RP and Nikon Z6 II Cameras
Canon RP and Nikon Z6 II have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon RP and Nikon Z6 II sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that Z6 Mark II has a better overall score of 94, 9 points higher compared to EOS RP's score of 85.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon RP
or the
Nikon Z6 II ,
including hyperfocal distance.
