Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by checking specs. The graphic underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1 and Fujifilm X-A2.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Fujifilm X-A2 to give you more detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older R-D1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
