To sum up, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E2S having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic G100 will produce extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E2S will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
