The 60Da due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon 60Da will show extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The newer 60Da should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
