Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing merely by viewing specifications. The photograph here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GF7 and Quattro.

To sum up, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GF7 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma Quattro will provide you with extra detail having its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older GF7 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
