Plainly, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X20 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus 7030 will show more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X20 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
