Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at specs. The graphic underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX60 HS and DP2x.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX60 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX60 HS will give you extra detail using its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SX60 HS should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
