Normally, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing simply by looking through specs. The photograph underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the N100 and SP-610UZ.

All in all, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The N100 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Olympus SP-610UZ will render greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The newer N100 will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
