As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer X-S20 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
