Generally, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The photograph here may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX410 IS and 6000.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon SX410 IS to provide you with extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern SX410 IS will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
