Quite often, it can be hard to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by going through a spec sheet. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1 and Fujifilm J30.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1 having a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Fujifilm J30 will produce greater detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
