Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing just by reading specs. The photograph here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1x and NEX-5T.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should expect to see the Sony NEX-5T to offer more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
