As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX620 HS due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon SX620 HS will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The newer SX620 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
