Usually, its hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out specs. The image here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SZ-11 and Quattro H.

All in all, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SZ-11 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma Quattro H will produce greater detail because of its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SZ-11 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
