Normally, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 100 HS and Elph 115 IS.

Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon Elph 115 IS to provide you with more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 100 HS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
