Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SX610 HS to offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX610 HS will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
