Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX60 HS due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Canon SX60 HS will give more detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger SX60 HS should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
