Canon 60D has a
18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4 processor. On the other hand, Samsung GX-20 has a
15.0MP APS-C (23.4 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the 60D and GX-20 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 60D and Samsung GX-20 Cameras
Canon 60D and Samsung GX-20 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon 60D and Samsung GX-20 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that GX-20 has a better overall score of 68, 2 points higher compared to 60D's score of 66.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon 60D
or the
Samsung GX-20 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
