Below you can see the TX100V and HX300 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony TX100V and Sony HX300 Cameras
Sony TX100V and Sony HX300 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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
Sony TX100V
or the
Sony HX300 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
