Usually, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing technical specs. The picture here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1 and G95.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R-D1 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic G95 will render more detail using its extra 14.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
