The R-D1x having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung ST150F will deliver greater detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
