More often than not, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X30 and FH6.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X30 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic FH6 will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X30 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
