When you are planning to carry your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and size.

Generally, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking technical specs. The photograph here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TL2 and Quattro.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sigma Quattro to give you more detail having its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent TL2 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
