As you can see, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T30 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-T30 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T30 should have an edge in sensor technology.
