Canon 1D MIV vs Canon M50 II Sensor Comparison
Normally, its hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at specifications. The picture underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D MIV and M50 II.
Plainly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1D MIV because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M50 II will give extra detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged 1D MIV is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
