More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by going through technical specs. The picture below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX620 HS and Fujifilm X-A5.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX620 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X-A5 will produce greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX620 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
