Plainly, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R100 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R100 will give more detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more modern R100 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
