Cameralabs agreed about the better image quality:

I haven't read a Trustedreviews camera review for a while as I found their previous cameras reviews poor but that was a few years ago so may have changed now.

i was looking for compactness as i carry it with my camcorder. plus i like the sound of 20x zoom.
im gonna order a hx20 unless someone has a reason for going for the tz30.
