Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FE-5010 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sigma Quattro H will provide greater detail because of its extra 33MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged FE-5010 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
