Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by viewing specs. The visual below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX620 HS and P100.

All in all, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Canon SX620 HS to result in more detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The more modern SX620 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
