As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon D5600 to give you extra detail due to its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 300D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
