Sometimes, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the A1300 and EX2F.
Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A1300 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Canon A1300 will produce more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged A1300 will be behind in sensor tech.
