Typically, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The image underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX60 HS and G7.

Plainly, each of these cameras posses the exact same megapixels albeit different sensor dimensions. The SX60 HS comes with the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult. The more aged SX60 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
