More often than not, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching specs. The pic here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1x and Fujifilm SL300.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1x having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm SL300 will result in more detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
