Canon M6 MII has a
33.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 8 processor. On the other hand, Canon M50 has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 8 processor.
Canon M6 MII's sensor provides 9MP more than Canon M50'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.
Below you can see the M6 II and M50 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon M6 MII and Canon M50 Cameras
Canon M6 MII and Canon M50 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Canon M50 has 34% larger pixel area (13.84µm 2 vs 10.29µm 2 ) compared to Canon M6 MII, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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 M6 MII
or the
Canon M50 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
