Normally, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes purely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 100 HS and ELPH 180.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon ELPH 180 to provide greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 100 HS will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
