Clearly, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Q7 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 33 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Q7 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
