Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R-D1x having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm S1 will produce greater detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
