Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The E-410 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sony RX1R will render greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The older E-410 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
