As you can plainly see, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-A5 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sigma fp L will offer more detail having an extra 37 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-A5 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
