Generally, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1x and GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5.

Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 to show greater detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
