The M50 was brought out 3 years before the E-M10 IV which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting in to a in-depth comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the M50 scores vs the E-M10 IV with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M50 and Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV. The entire galleries are provided at Canon M50 Gallery and Olympus E-M10 IV Gallery.

Sometimes, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes just by checking specs. The image underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M50 and E-M10 IV.

All in all, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M50 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon M50 will resolve more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M50 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
