As you can see, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX620 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon SX620 HS will deliver extra detail using its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX620 HS should have an advantage in sensor tech.
