Sometimes, it is tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through technical specs. The pic underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the DP1x and fp L.
As you have seen, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The DP1x due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 56MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged DP1x will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
