Quite often, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching specifications. The picture below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the ZS200 and Quattro H.

To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ZS200 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will result in extra detail with its extra 25MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern ZS200 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
