All in all, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-Pro3 to offer you greater detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-Pro3 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
