Quite often, its hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Quattro and A77 II.
Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should expect the Sigma Quattro to give you more detail with its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer Quattro should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
