Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The N100 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon SX610 HS will give greater detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged N100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
