As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E2S featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the YI M1 will give you greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E2S is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
