Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon A3300 IS and Sony HX30V Cameras
Canon A3300 IS and Sony HX30V have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon A3300 IS
or the
Sony HX30V ,
including hyperfocal distance.
