Often, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X100V and E-M5.
Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X100V due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X100V will deliver more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images much more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X100V should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
