As you can see, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E1 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Nikon B700 will render extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E1 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
