In many cases, its difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by looking at specifications. The graphic below will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-E2 and E-P7.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus E-P7 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E2 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
