To sum up, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Sony HX200V to result in extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent SX60 HS should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
