Oftentimes, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-A2 and 1 V3.

As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-A2 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon 1 V3 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-A2 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
