We already listed pros and cons of each model. However, you may also find useful to look at their common strengths and weaknesses shown side-by-side.

Screen

Fujifilm FinePix XP30 has a 2.70" screen with 230k dot resolution and Fujifilm FinePix XP130 has a 3.0" screen with 920k dot resolution. Both have Fixed screens.

Fujifilm FinePix XP30 features a 14.2 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200. Fujifilm FinePix XP130 features a 16.4 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200 and expands to 100 - 6,400 in boosted mode.

Fujifilm FinePix XP130 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Fujifilm FinePix XP30 can take pictures up to 4320 x 3240 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4320 x 2432, 3072 x 2304, 3072 x 1728, 2048 x 1532, 1920 x 1080 with 4:3, 16:9 aspect ratios. Fujifilm FinePix XP130 can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution.
