Plainly, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T1 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp will offer more detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
