Since Fujifilm X30's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Samsung SL820.
Below you can see the SL820 and X30 sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Fujifilm X30 has a 2.1x Larger sensor area than Samsung SL820. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
