The Fujifilm X-T30 II with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-T30 II will offer more detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T30 II provides a benefit in sensor tech.
