Quite often, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1 and ST80.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R-D1 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung ST80 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older R-D1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
