More often than not, it is tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specifications. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T30 and E-P3.

Plainly, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T30 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-T30 will render greater detail using its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T30 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
