To sum up, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E2 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-E2 will resolve extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E2 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
