As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X100T featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will render extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100T will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
