Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-620 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony H300 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The older E-620 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
