In many cases, it can be hard to see the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 1000D and D600.

As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1000D because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Nikon D600 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older 1000D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
