More often than not, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The picture here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the XC10 and Quattro H.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The XC10 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma Quattro H will deliver more detail because of its extra 33 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged XC10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
