Normally, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing specifications. The picture below will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T4 and E-M1 II.
Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T4 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-T4 will offer extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T4 will have an edge in sensor technology.
