Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T100 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Fujifilm X-T100 will offer extra detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-T100 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
