Both Fujifilm X-T2 and Fujifilm X-T20 have APS-C sized 24.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Fujifilm X-T20 and Fujifilm X-T2 sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the X-T2 and X-T20 sensor size comparison.
Fujifilm X-T2 and Fujifilm X-T20 have sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
