Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon R50 to resolve extra detail due to its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent R50 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
