Normally, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out specs. The photograph here may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 500 HS and M50 II.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ELPH 500 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon M50 II will show more detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older ELPH 500 HS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
