Usually, it is difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specifications. The image underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX620 HS and F300EXR.

To sum up, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX620 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon SX620 HS will render more detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more modern SX620 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
