Usually, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 100D and SL2.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon SL2 to offer greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older 100D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
