Sony W830 has a 20.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Bionz processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm XQ2 has a 12.0MP 2/3-inch (8.8 x 6.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS II sensor and features EXR Processor II processor.
Sony W830's sensor provides 8MP more than Fujifilm XQ2's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the W830 and XQ2 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony W830 and Fujifilm XQ2 Cameras
As seen above, Fujifilm XQ2 has a 2.1x Larger sensor area than Sony W830. 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.
