Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M50 II due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M50 II will show greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M50 II should have a benefit in sensor technology.
