All in all, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Fujifilm X-T30 to provide greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older M5 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
