Plainly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm XP30 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm XP30 will show extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm XP30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
