Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The image here might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A2300 and F5.

As you have seen, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon A2300 to give you greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged A2300 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
