In many cases, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The image below may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-A2 and PEN-F.

As you can tell, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-A2 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will offer greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A2 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
