Re: SX620 vs SX530 ?

I have the ELPH 360 HS that zooms in to 300mm (equivalent to 35mm film). My more "serious" camera is the Panasonic GX85 and I have a lens that zooms in to the equivalent of 300mm as well.

The SX620 and 530 will zoom much closer to a distant subject than my other cameras. The image details get mushy when you zoom all the way in with these small sensor cameras. I wonder if the 530 would be better than the 620 when matching the 620's max zoom setting?

I shoot both photos and video with my cameras. the 530 has stereo sound recording which is a plus.
