Nikon 1 J2 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison
Normally, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking specs. The picture underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1 J2 and Quattro H.
All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1 J2 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Sigma Quattro H will give you greater detail having an extra 35MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged 1 J2 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
