As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-A5 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm X-A5 will give extra detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-A5 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
