Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX60 HS and SD10.

Clearly, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX60 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon SX60 HS will produce extra detail because of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern SX60 HS provides a benefit in sensor tech.
