Quite often, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The visual here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX610 HS and C.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX610 HS because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Canon SX610 HS will give extra detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger SX610 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
