In many cases, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing simply by seeing specifications. The visual here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 100 HS and M Typ 240.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 100 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Leica M Typ 240 will provide greater detail having an extra 12MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older ELPH 100 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
