Often, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing technical specs. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-M1 and 1 J1.

As you have seen, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-M1 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-M1 will result in greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-M1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
