As you can tell, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E3 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-E3 will produce greater detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E3 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
