Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX620 HS and SP-800 UZ.

Clearly, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon SX620 HS to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer SX620 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
