620 rollfilm is basically the same as 120 rollfilm, it has the same width and length. The only difference is the spool which holds the film, in case of the 620 roll the center of the spool is smaller than that of 120 roll. A lot of older cameras use 620 film although it's possible in some to use 120 rollfilm too.
620 rollfilm was introduced by Kodak to counter their decreasing sales of 120 film, many other brands (Like Agfa) made 120 film too. So Kodak decided to make a line of cameras that only could take their film and thus 620 was born. Several millions of cameras of this type were made and sold but at a certain point Kodak dropped the production of 620 leaving a lot of cameras useless for the average person.
