In many cases, its tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The graphic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 20Da and D300S.

To sum up, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You can expect to see the Nikon D300S to give you extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older 20Da is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
