To sum up, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H300 to provide you with greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more modern H300 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
