Often, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by checking out technical specs. The pic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and E-PL2.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will provide more detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-Pro3 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
