As you can see, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1D MIV because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M50 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older 1D MIV will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
