Normally, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR300 and CX6.
As you can see, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR300 to resolve greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The fresher EX-ZR300 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
