More often than not, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX600 HS and NX10.

As you can tell, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX600 HS using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX600 HS will offer you more detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger SX600 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
