Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-M1 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-M1 will provide greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-M1 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
