Leica T Type 701 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading specifications. The visual here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the T Type 701 and Quattro H.

To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The T Type 701 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will offer greater detail with its extra 29MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older T Type 701 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
