Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The graphic here should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX60 HS and SX600 HS.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size and the same exact resolution therefore you can expect similar quality of images although you may want to factor the age of the products into consideration. The more modern SX60 HS will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
