Typically, it is tough to see the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking technical specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E4 and 1 J3.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E4 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-E4 will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E4 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
