The Fujifilm J30 was introduced 3 years earlier than the TX20 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before diving right into a detailed comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the Fujifilm J30 matches up against the TX20 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, it can be tough to see the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm J30 and TX20.

Clearly, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony TX20 to give more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm J30 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
