More often than not, it is very tough to see the difference between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-H2 and SL.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Fujifilm X-H2 will resolve greater detail having its extra 16 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-H2 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
