Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E4 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-E4 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-E4 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
