Sometimes, it's difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-E1 and Fujifilm X-E3.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Fujifilm X-E3 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
