Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E3 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-E3 will provide greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E3 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
