Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX10 and DP2 Quattro.

Clearly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sigma DP2 Quattro to render greater detail with its extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged NX10 will be behind in sensor tech.
