Sometimes, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing specs. The graphic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX600 HS and HS10.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX600 HS to provide more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX600 HS should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
