As you have seen, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon R100 to offer you greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger R100 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
