All in all, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1x having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon 1 V1 will provide greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
