Generally, it is tough to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X100 and Fujifilm X-E2.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Fujifilm X-E2 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
