Normally, it's difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The photograph below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T30 and Fujifilm X30.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T30 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-T30 will render more detail with its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-T30 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
