Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The photograph underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E3 and 1 J5.

Plainly, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E3 due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-E3 will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-E3 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
