As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon W300 to render more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent W300 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
