Typically, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing just by reviewing technical specs. The graphic here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 100D and 1D MII N.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 100D with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon 100D will offer you greater detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher 100D should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
