Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by going over specifications. The visual underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Quattro and RX1R.

To sum up, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Quattro having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will offer extra detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer Quattro should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
