Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing a spec sheet. The image below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T100 and 1 J3.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T100 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-T100 will render greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T100 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
