The SX150 IS was revealed 3 years prior to the SX60 HS and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX150 IS being a Compact camera and the Canon SX60 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving into a more detailed comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the SX150 IS scores against the SX60 HS in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX150 IS & Canon PowerShot SX60 HS. The full galleries are available at Canon SX150 IS Gallery & Canon SX60 HS Gallery.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you select during that time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the SX150 IS and the SX60 HS.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the SX150 IS and SX60 HS is 86 and 61 respectively.

Generally, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by looking through technical specs. The graphic underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX150 IS and SX60 HS.

As you have seen, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You can count on the Canon SX60 HS to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The older SX150 IS will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
