Canon 60D vs Fujifilm S8500 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions simply by going through specs. The pic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 60D and Fujifilm S8500.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 60D using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 60D will show extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged 60D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
