Sometimes, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements only by reviewing specs. The visual below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm J30 and W830.
As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Sony W830 to offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm J30 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
