Before going right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief summary of how the M10 matches up versus the R50 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Canon M10 vs Canon R50 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes only by viewing technical specs. The image below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and R50.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon R50 to render extra detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged M10 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
