Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX600 HS and Fujifilm F660EXR.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same MP but not the same sensor measurements. The SX600 HS has the smaller sensor which will make achieving shallow DOF tougher. The more modern SX600 HS will have an edge in sensor tech.
