Often, it's difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements merely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-E1 and X1D II 50C.

As you have seen, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E1 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will deliver more detail having an extra 35MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
