Clearly, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X100T having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Nikon D780 will resolve more detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100T is going to be behind in sensor technology.
