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.
