All in all, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SD10 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will result in more detail due to its extra 42MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged SD10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
