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, Sony A6300 has a
24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features BIONZ X processor.
Below you can see the EOS RP and A6300 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon RP and Sony A6300 Cameras
As seen above, Canon RP has a 2.4x Larger sensor area than Sony A6300. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

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
Sony A6300 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Full frame versus APS-C),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
