In many cases, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by checking specifications. The visual underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the GF6 and Quattro.
Plainly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GF6 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will give you greater detail because of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older GF6 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
