Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing technical specs. The visual here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T1 and G2.

As you have seen, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T1 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-T1 will provide extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T1 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
