Plainly, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SX620 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon SX620 HS will deliver extra detail with its extra 17MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent SX620 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
