Plainly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The ST700 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A3000 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged ST700 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
