In many cases, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The image here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Quattro and ZV-1.

As you have seen, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Quattro using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sigma Quattro will give more detail with its extra 9 Megapixels.
