In many cases, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The pic underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1x and A7c.

As you can tell, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R-D1x featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sony A7c will offer extra detail due to its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
