To sum up, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-E1 to give you extra detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-E1 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
