Clearly, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E3 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-E3 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 3.5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E3 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
