Often, it can be hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading specs. The visual below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the DP2 and Quattro H.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The DP2 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Sigma Quattro H will deliver more detail with its extra 40MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older DP2 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
