Plainly, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX60 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony RX10 will result in extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively.
