Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon M50 II to result in more detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 400D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
