All in all, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 60Da because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A850 will resolve extra detail having its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more recent 60Da should have a benefit in sensor tech.
