FujiFilm T300 vs Sony A3000 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The T300 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A3000 will render more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics more aggressively. The older T300 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
