The 300D was unveiled 11 years prior to the D3300 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the 300D grades against the D3300 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 300D and Nikon D3300. The full galleries are available at Canon 300D Gallery and Nikon D3300 Gallery.

For those who are going to travel with your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and measurements.

In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing specs. The picture underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 300D and D3300.

All in all, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon D3300 to offer you extra detail having an extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged 300D is going to be behind in sensor tech.
