To sum up, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Nikon B700 to resolve more detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 30 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
