Typically, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The visual here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Quattro and H400.

As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Quattro due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sigma Quattro will show extra detail having its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The younger Quattro should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
