To sum up, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm J30 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm J30 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm J30 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
