Normally, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A1300 and C.

As you can see, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A1300 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon A1300 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older A1300 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
