More often than not, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions just by looking through a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and DP1x.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm Real 3D W1 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 will render more detail because of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Real 3D W1 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
