Quite often, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the R50 and Fujifilm X-E2.
Clearly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should count on the Canon R50 to give you greater detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The newer R50 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
