Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX600 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX600 HS will provide you with greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher SX600 HS should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
