Quite often, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by looking through technical specs. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D MII and SX50 HS.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 6D MII because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 6D MII will render greater detail utilizing its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The fresher 6D MII provides an edge in sensor technology.
