All in all, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-A3 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-A3 will result in greater detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-A3 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
