Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through specifications. The picture underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the PL210 and DP2 Quattro.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The PL210 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma DP2 Quattro will resolve extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged PL210 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
