Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The ELPH 310 HS because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Canon 60D will offer you greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent ELPH 310 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
