Normally, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by checking specifications. The graphic underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX620 HS and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

Plainly, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX620 HS using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX620 HS will give extra detail having an extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger SX620 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
