Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The image here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the HZ10W and Quattro.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The HZ10W due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma Quattro will provide you with more detail due to its extra 19 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged HZ10W will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
