Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Quattro H having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sigma Quattro H will result in greater detail with its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger Quattro H is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
