The Quattro was introduced 2 years later than the QX100 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Sigma Quattro being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony QX100 being a Lens-style camera.

Before going right into a full comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the Quattro grades versus the QX100 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through specs. The photograph below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Quattro and QX100.

All in all, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Quattro using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sigma Quattro will render extra detail using its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The newer Quattro will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
