All in all, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R-D1 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Ricoh CX4 will offer you greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
