Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have chosen during that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the T300 and the DP3 Merrill.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the T300 and DP3 Merrill is 94 and 83 respectively.

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specs. The image underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the T300 and DP3 Merrill.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The T300 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sigma DP3 Merrill will give you greater detail because of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged T300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
