Generally, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M3 and Fujifilm X-E4.

As you can see, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Fujifilm X-E4 to resolve more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older M3 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
