Oftentimes, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes just by looking at specs. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 100D and SX530 HS.

All in all, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 100D due to its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 100D will give more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 100D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
