Normally, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through specifications. The graphic here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M3 and R-D1.

To sum up, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon M3 to result in greater detail with its extra 18MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M3 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
