Often, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M50 and GF6.

As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M50 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon M50 will render more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern M50 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
