Clearly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon SX610 HS to give more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern SX610 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
