More often than not, its difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H1 and E-M5 II.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H1 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-H1 will result in extra detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-H1 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
