All in all, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-A7 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-A7 will give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
