Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-H2 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-H2 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
