Typically, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by looking through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and GH5 II.

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R50 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon R50 will render greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more modern R50 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
