As you have seen, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony TX30 to provide you with extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 will be behind in sensor innovation.
