All in all, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R-D1 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic GF3 will render extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
