As you can see, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Quattro H because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will result in greater detail utilizing its extra 21 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The newer Quattro H should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
