Usually, it is tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D600 and E-600.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D600 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon D600 will give you more detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern D600 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
