More often than not, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T30 II and NX300.
Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should expect the Fujifilm X-T30 II to show extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-T30 II should have an edge in sensor innovation.
