Age old debate a great deal on yesteryear best tool versus today's best but entry.

If pure IQ and resolution is what you want get the D3300 the sensor in there is so far superior.   yeah there will those D300 lovers posting some really good pictures.  The D300 was great and can still produce great picture, but unless you need high FPS, good bright / fast action focus the D3300 has a far superior sensor / resolution.

AS others have noted the lens you have won't focus with the D3300 and the reality that sensor is so good you should consider upgrading your lens.   EVen on D300 you will be selling the camera a bit short with those lens.  For candid photos your iPhone will do as well as the two cameras but maybe for low light action and different prospective the DSLR will produce a better result.
