Usually, it's hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The pic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 100D and 1D X III.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 100D due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon 1D X III will produce more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 100D will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
