Before we go straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief view of how the M50 grades versus the A7 II when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M50 and Sony Alpha A7 II. The whole galleries are provided at Canon M50 Gallery and Sony A7 II Gallery.

In many cases, it's hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The image below will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M50 and A7 II.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical resolution albeit different sensor dimensions. The M50 provides the smaller sensor which should make getting shallower DOF tougher. The more modern M50 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
