Clearly, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X30 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X30 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X30 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
