Quite often, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and M1.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-Pro2 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will show extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-Pro2 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
