Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm X-A5 to give greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged M10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
