Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The ELPH 100 HS because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon ELPH 100 HS will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The younger ELPH 100 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
