The Fujifilm X-E4 was unveiled 4 years later than the M1 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a in depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the Fujifilm X-E4 matches up against the M1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X-E4 and YI M1. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm X-E4 Gallery and YI M1 Gallery.

In many cases, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E4 and M1.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E4 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-E4 will provide greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-E4 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
