Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E4 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-E4 will give you extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-E4 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
