More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The pic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm HS30EXR and Fujifilm X-T3.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm HS30EXR having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-T3 will offer you more detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm HS30EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
