Usually, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by going through specifications. The picture underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1 and Quattro.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sigma Quattro to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 23 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
