Usually, it is tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and E-P2.
Clearly, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will offer extra detail because of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-Pro3 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
