More often than not, it's hard to see the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC150 and Fujifilm X30.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-FC150 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X30 will show extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
