Usually, it can be hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over specifications. The visual here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 50D and 60D.

Plainly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon 60D to offer greater detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older 50D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
