Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R100 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R100 will result in greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more recent R100 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
