As you can tell, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung ST93 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
