Oftentimes, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by seeing technical specs. The graphic underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X100T and E-M5 III.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100T due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-M5 III will produce more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100T will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
