Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-Pro2 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will render greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-Pro2 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
