Normally, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the M50 and Fujifilm GFX 50S II.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M50 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm GFX 50S II will give more detail because of its extra 27MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older M50 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
