Normally, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specs. The visual here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the R100 and Fujifilm X-E2.

All in all, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon R100 to offer you extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more modern R100 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
