Normally, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out technical specs. The picture underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S620 and EX2F.

As you have seen, both cameras have got the exact same megapixel count but not the same sensor dimensions. The S620 provides the smaller sensor which will make getting shallower DOF more difficult. The more aged S620 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
