The M50 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M50 will render extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older M50 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
