As you can see, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should expect to see the Canon R50 to show more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged 650D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
