All in all, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The T300 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sony a5100 will provide more detail utilizing its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older T300 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
