Sometimes, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out specs. The visual below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S110 and SX600 HS.

All in all, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S110 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon SX600 HS will produce more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older S110 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
