Oftentimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading specifications. The visual below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL620 and DP2 Quattro.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SL620 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma DP2 Quattro will deliver greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older SL620 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
