10.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the A350 and A300 sensor size comparison.
Sony A350 and Sony A300 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. On the other hand, since Sony A300 has 39% larger pixel area (37.14µm2 vs 26.58µm2) compared to Sony A350, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
