Canon M vs Epson R-D1x

On this page, we will be looking at the Canon M versus Epson R-D1x, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Epson. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the M (18MP) and R-D1x (6MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The M was released 3 years after the R-D1x which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the M grades versus the R-D1x when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M and Epson R-D1x. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon M Gallery and Epson R-D1x Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to carry around your camera often, you will need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon M features physical dimensions of 109mm x 66mm x 32mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 298 grams (0.66 lbs) while the Epson R-D1x has dimensions of 142mm x 89mm x 40mm (5.6" x 3.5" x 1.6") accompanied by a weight of 620 grams (1.37 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have at the time. Underneath is a front view overall size comparison of the M vs the R-D1x.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M and R-D1x is 89 and 75 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes simply by checking technical specs. The image below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M and R-D1x.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon M to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The newer M will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
