As you can see, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Quattro H with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sigma Quattro H will offer greater detail having an extra 35 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern Quattro H will have an advantage in sensor tech.
