Quite often, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1x and GF8.

Clearly, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1x using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic GF8 will provide more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
