Quite often, it can be hard to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the NX100 and Quattro.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sigma Quattro to give greater detail having its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older NX100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
