Quite often, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading specifications. The picture underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A1000 and P100.
Plainly, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon A1000 to offer more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern A1000 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
