Clearly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M50 II due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M50 II will produce more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern M50 II should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
