As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 550D because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon R will produce more detail having its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The older 550D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
