Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have chosen during that time. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the T300 and the Fujifilm HS30EXR.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the T300 and Fujifilm HS30EXR is 94 and 59 respectively.

In many cases, it is hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements simply by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the T300 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.

As you can see, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The T300 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Fujifilm HS30EXR will resolve greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively.
