The 60D was introduced 5 years later than the D70s and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going straight to a full comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the 60D grades vs the D70s with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 60D to provide you with greater detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The more recent 60D should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
