Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by seeing specifications. The graphic below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and a5100.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony a5100 to produce more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-Pro1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
