Normally, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The pic underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1 and T Type 701.

Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Leica T Type 701 to render more detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
