Often, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing technical specs. The graphic here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-E4 and GF8.
As you have seen, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E4 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-E4 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E4 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
