As you can see, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E3 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X-E3 will offer more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E3 will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
