Often, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by looking through specifications. The picture below will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 60D and WG-4 GPS.

Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 60D using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 60D will provide you with more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged 60D will be behind in sensor tech.
