Usually, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1 and M11 Monochrome.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R-D1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Leica M11 Monochrome will give extra detail having its extra 54MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
