As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX60 HS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma Quattro will give you extra detail having an extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged SX60 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
