Often, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading through technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Quattro and A9 II.

As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Quattro having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will resolve greater detail having an extra 5MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged Quattro is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
