Often, it can be hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The pic below may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M5 III and Quattro H.

To sum up, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M5 III with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will result in extra detail using its extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent E-M5 III provides a benefit in sensor technology.
