Clearly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E1 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-E1 will resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E1 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
