As you can plainly see, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony WX50 to provide more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older V-Lux 30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
