As you have seen, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Nikon D3000 to provide you with extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 300D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
