In many cases, its hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2 and GH1.

To sum up, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-H2 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-H2 will provide extra detail using its extra 28 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-H2 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
