As you can see, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm XF1 with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm XF1 will give greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm XF1 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
