Quite often, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through technical specs. The image below may provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-E2 and Q7.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E2 having a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-E2 will render extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E2 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
