All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T10 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-T10 will give you extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T10 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
