Typically, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The graphic underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX600 HS and Z1485 IS.

To sum up, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX600 HS due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX600 HS will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX600 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
