Generally, it's difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and V-Lux 2.

As you can see, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R50 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon R50 will provide you with extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent R50 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
