Often, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the T300 and MX-1.

Clearly, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The T300 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the FujiFilm T300 will offer you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The older T300 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
