Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX60 HS because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon SX60 HS will show greater detail having its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more modern SX60 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
