Canon 1100D has a 12.0MP APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4 processor. On the other hand, Canon 1000D has a 10.0MP APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the 1100D and 1000D sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 1100D and Canon 1000D Cameras
Canon 1100D and Canon 1000D have sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Canon 1000D has 20% larger pixel area (32.60µm2 vs 27.00µm2) compared to Canon 1100D, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
