Plainly, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should expect to see the Nikon D500 to show extra detail as a result of its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 60Da will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
