Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R100 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R100 will show greater detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern R100 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
