Normally, its hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes merely by researching specs. The image below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D MIV and 60D.

All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 1D MIV because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 60D will render greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged 1D MIV will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
