As you have seen, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The P300 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Nikon D7200 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older P300 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
