As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R-D1 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the FujiFilm HS10 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The older R-D1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
