Quite often, it is very tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the R100 and P1000.

As you can see, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R100 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R100 will give you extra detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern R100 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
