The R-D1 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the FujiFilm S4000 will provide greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older R-D1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
