Usually, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The pic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M50 II and SX130 IS.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M50 II with its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M50 II will show extra detail because of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger M50 II will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
