Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-A2 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-A2 will render greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-A2 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
