Clearly, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E2 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M10 IV will deliver greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-E2 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
