Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z33 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Sigma DP2 Quattro will result in more detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z33 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
