More often than not, its tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 600D and NEX-F3.

As you can see, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You should expect to see the Canon 600D to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged 600D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
