To sum up, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GF2 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma Quattro H will offer you more detail with its extra 33MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older GF2 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
