Often, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing just by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-E4 and E-PL2.

As you can see, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E4 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-E4 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E4 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
