Oftentimes, it is hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The pic underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the N100 and SX730 HS.

As you can tell, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The N100 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon SX730 HS will resolve extra detail due to its extra 8.3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged N100 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
