All in all, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S30 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony T900 will resolve greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The younger S30 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
