More often than not, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions only by looking through technical specs. The picture here might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 300D and 450D.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon 450D to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged 300D will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
