As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Canon SX620 HS to give you greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older SX30 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
