The R7 was brought out 18 years later than the R-D1 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon R7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a quick overview of how the R7 grades against the R-D1 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Sometimes, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R7 and R-D1.

As you can see, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon R7 to offer more detail having its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The younger R7 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
