Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the A900 and HX300.

Clearly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the same exact resolution therefore you should expect comparable quality of files however you really should consider the release date of the cameras into account. The newer A900 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
