Oftentimes, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing only by going through specifications. The graphic here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the N100 and Fujifilm A100.

To sum up, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The N100 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon N100 will produce extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger N100 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
