Canon 80D vs Epson R-D1x Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reviewing specifications. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 80D and R-D1x.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon 80D to offer greater detail because of its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The younger 80D will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
