Usually, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 600D and A390.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 600D to render greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The younger 600D will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
