To sum up, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Fujifilm X-T30 to offer greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-A2 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
