In many cases, it is hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through specifications. The pic here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the E-PL3 and Quattro H.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-PL3 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma Quattro H will resolve more detail with its extra 33 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged E-PL3 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
