Canon M6 MII vs Canon R50 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 MII and R50.
As you can see, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Canon M6 MII to provide you with more detail due to its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older M6 MII will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
