As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX600 HS to produce greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX600 HS will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
