As you can see, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X100F with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X100F will offer greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100F is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
