Typically, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing technical specs. The pic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A300 and A450.

As you have seen, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Sony A450 to deliver more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged A300 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
