More often than not, its tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing simply by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T200 and E-PL2.

Clearly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T200 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Fujifilm X-T200 will result in more detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T200 should have an edge in sensor tech.
