As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX620 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon SX620 HS will render more detail having an extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX620 HS should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
