Clearly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 300 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon 750D will provide extra detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older ELPH 300 HS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
