As you can see, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm Z37 using its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Fujifilm X30 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z37 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
