The Quattro was released 3 years after the NEX-F3 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting into a full comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the Quattro matches up versus the NEX-F3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma sd Quattro and Sony Alpha NEX-F3. The complete galleries are viewable at Sigma Quattro Gallery and Sony NEX-F3 Gallery.

More often than not, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading specifications. The picture below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Quattro and NEX-F3.

Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sigma Quattro to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger Quattro is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
