Oftentimes, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The visual here might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the D-Lux 7 and Quattro H.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The D-Lux 7 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma Quattro H will resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 28MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger D-Lux 7 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
