All in all, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SL620 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung SL620 will give you more detail because of its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SL620 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
