In many cases, it can be difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by viewing specifications. The graphic below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-100 and P1000.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-100 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon P1000 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-100 will be behind in sensor technology.
