Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-H2 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-H2 will show greater detail because of its extra 24MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-H2 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
