Canon N100 vs Samsung PL200 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The graphic here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the N100 and PL200.

Plainly, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The N100 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung PL200 will resolve greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger N100 should have an edge in sensor tech.
