As you have seen, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-T5 to provide more detail because of its extra 20MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T5 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
