Often, its hard to see the difference between sensor sizing purely by checking technical specs. The visual here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M50 II and G7 X MII.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M50 II with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon M50 II will give more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher M50 II is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
