Sigma Quattro vs Sony A7 III Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Quattro and A7 III.

To sum up, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Quattro featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma Quattro will deliver more detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Quattro is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
