Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and TL.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the exact same megapixels and you should expect similar quality of photographs although you need to take the release date of the products into consideration. The more aged Fujifilm X-Pro1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
