As you can tell, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-100 having a larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon S6300 will result in more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more recent EX-100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
