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.
