All in all, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A3000 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A3000 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent A3000 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
