As you can tell, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Fujifilm X-E2S to show greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older R-D1 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
