Usually, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions merely by looking at technical specs. The pic below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the A7c and A300.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A7c with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Sony A7c will resolve greater detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A7c provides an advantage in sensor tech.
