Generally, it is hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking specs. The image underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the M50 and E-P7.

All in all, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M50 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon M50 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M50 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
