Sometimes, it's difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes simply by going over specs. The pic below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the R10 and 1 J1.

All in all, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R10 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R10 will deliver more detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher R10 should have an edge in sensor tech.
