In many cases, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and GF3.
As you can see, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer more detail using its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer X-S20 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
