Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm T500 is significantly lighter (118g ) than the Sony HX30V which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V nor Fujifilm FinePix T500 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony HX30V's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm T500's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
