As you have seen, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The B600 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon B600 will give more detail having an extra 13MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern B600 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
