As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-A1 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-A1 will render extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-A1 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
