More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through specs. The picture below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the T8i and D60.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should expect to see the Canon T8i to show extra detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern T8i provides an advantage in sensor tech.
