Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon SX620 HS to give more detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more modern SX620 HS provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
