As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX60 HS due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Samsung NX1100 will deliver extra detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The younger SX60 HS is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
