Plainly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can expect to see the Sony H300 to give more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent H300 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
