Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-A5 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-A5 will offer extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A5 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
