Normally, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through technical specs. The visual underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the AX350 and A3000.

As you can tell, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The AX350 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A3000 will resolve greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older AX350 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
