To sum up, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T20 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-T20 will provide more detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T20 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
