Normally, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out specifications. The picture here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and M9.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-Pro2 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will produce extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-Pro2 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
