Normally, it can be hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the R50 and GX1.

To sum up, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R50 with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon R50 will offer you more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The younger R50 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
