Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon D5200 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged 600D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
