Often, its tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX60 HS and EX-S200.

Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX60 HS to resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX60 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
