As you can see, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R-D1x due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm SL240 will provide more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The older R-D1x will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
