Plainly, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The PX because of its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Sony A3000 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older PX is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
