As you can see, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Canon 100D to produce more detail due to its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher 100D should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
