In many cases, it can be tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M50 II and NEX-3N.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon M50 II to give you extra detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The newer M50 II will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
