Typically, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by going through specs. The pic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX60 HS and Fujifilm SL300.

All in all, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon SX60 HS to show greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer SX60 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
