More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The pic below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the S200 and Quattro.

To sum up, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S200 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sigma Quattro will produce more detail due to its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged S200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
