More often than not, it's difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing merely by viewing specifications. The visual underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 300D and L830.

To sum up, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 300D due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon L830 will render extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The older 300D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
