Canon R7 vs Epson R-D1x Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R7 and R-D1x.
Clearly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon R7 to render extra detail utilizing its extra 27MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The fresher R7 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
