As you can see, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Fujifilm X-E2S to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-E2S is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
