Plainly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon SX620 HS to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern SX620 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
