As you can see, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will give you extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-Pro3 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
