All in all, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 300D featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon G16 will give greater detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 300D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
