Usually, its hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements simply by seeing technical specs. The visual underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M50 II and SX420 IS.

As you can tell, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M50 II having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M50 II will produce more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger M50 II should have an edge in sensor tech.
