Quite often, it is difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the B600 and P530.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size and the same megapixels therefore you should expect similar quality of pictures although you need to factor the production date of the products into consideration. The more recent B600 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
