As you can tell, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100V using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X100V will produce greater detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X100V should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
