Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm Z30 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X20 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
