Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E1 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-E1 will show extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-E1 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
