Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The JZ500 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma Quattro will give more detail due to its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged JZ500 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
