As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R-D1 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the FujiFilm S2800HD will result in extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
