Quite often, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by going through technical specs. The pic below should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX60 HS and R-D1x.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX60 HS due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX60 HS will provide more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger SX60 HS provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
