Often, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX620 HS and SX700 HS.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon SX620 HS to give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more recent SX620 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
