More often than not, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M50 II and A7R II.

Clearly, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M50 II using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7R II will render extra detail because of its extra 18 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher M50 II is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
