Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by reviewing technical specs. The graphic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-5 and Quattro.

As you can tell, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-5 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will offer you more detail using its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent TG-5 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
