Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the FujiFilm T300 to produce more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older SD960 IS will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
