Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Quattro H using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Sigma Quattro H will show more detail using its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Quattro H is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
