Oftentimes, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions just by looking through specs. The pic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the L100 and P7000.

All in all, both the cameras enjoy the same exact resolution but not the same sensor dimensions. The L100 uses the smaller sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower DOF trickier. The more aged L100 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
