Canon M50 II has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 8 processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X100 has a
12.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features EXR processor.
Canon M50 II's sensor provides 12MP more than Fujifilm X100's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Fujifilm X100's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the M50 Mark II and X100 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon M50 II and Fujifilm X100 Cameras
As seen above, Fujifilm X100 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon M50 II. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon M50 II
or the
Fujifilm X100 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
