To sum up, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SP-620 UZ featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus SP-620 UZ will produce more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent SP-620 UZ provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
