More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E2S and E-P1.

Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E2S with its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-E2S will offer you greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics much more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-E2S will have an edge in sensor innovation.
