To sum up, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M50 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon Z9 will produce greater detail having its extra 22MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged M50 will be behind in sensor technology.
