Generally, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions purely by researching technical specs. The image underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and Fujifilm X-E1.

As you have seen, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-E1 to result in extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
