Canon A2100 IS vs FujiFilm T300 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A2100 IS and T300.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the FujiFilm T300 to deliver greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged A2100 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
