As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-E2 will show greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-E2 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
