Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX60 HS and Fujifilm X-S1.

As you can see, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX60 HS due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon SX60 HS will offer greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer SX60 HS provides a benefit in sensor tech.
