The 60D was announced 8 years before the SX70 HS which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Canon 60D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX70 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the 60D grades against the SX70 HS with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 60D and Canon PowerShot SX70 HS. The whole galleries are available at Canon 60D Gallery and Canon SX70 HS Gallery.

If you're planning to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to take into account its weight and size.

Usually, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading specs. The picture here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 60D and SX70 HS.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 60D using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon SX70 HS will offer you greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged 60D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
