In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing simply by going over specifications. The photograph underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 100D and 1100D.

To sum up, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should count on the Canon 100D to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent 100D should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
