The 300D was introduced 7 years prior to the A390 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the 300D scores versus the A390 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 300D and Sony Alpha DSLR-A390. The whole galleries are available at Canon 300D Gallery and Sony A390 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry around your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Quite often, it is difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes just by researching specs. The pic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 300D and A390.

All in all, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony A390 to provide you with extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 300D will be behind in sensor technology.
