More often than not, it can be tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through technical specs. The graphic here may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and JZ300.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R-D1x featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the FujiFilm JZ300 will show extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older R-D1x will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
