Clearly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E3 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-E3 will render more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E3 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
