As you have seen, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will provide you with more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-Pro3 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
